Under pressure, security firm Cloudflare drops Kiwi Farms website Company’s CEO says the firm had detected imminent threats and that law enforcement could not keep up with them By Joseph Menn and Taylor Lorenz Updated September 3, 2022 at 7:36 p.m. EDT|Published September 3, 2022 at 6:18 p.m. EDT Reversing course under growing public pressure, major tech security company Cloudflare announced Saturday that it will stop protecting the Kiwi Farms website, best known as a place for stalkers to organize hacks, online campaigns and real-world harassment.
