I've been thinking about this for a few days, in regards to all the Kiwi Farms stuff.
Where do we want censorship to happen? It seems like most people agree that "bullying people to suicide" is something we shouldn't tolerate, but where do we stop it? No DNS hosting for them? No CDN, no DDOS protection? Go after their hosting directly? Alternatively, we could start at the other side, build a great firewall and have ISPs route everything through it. Make Apple/Microsoft/etc build "safety" filters that check packets as they leave your computer. Or hell, we're nearly at the stage where a keyboard could have enough processing power to real-time censor what you write. Why not do that?
I wish Kiwi Farms didn't exist, it sounds like a terrible place. I'm not convinced Cloudflare should be in charge of deciding that.

If you’re being harassed, the communication venues on which the harassment happens should be compelled legally to unmask the harasser so they may be charged and served with restraining orders.
Who cares if kiwifarms exists if you have competent and empowered law enforcement and judicial systems that can bring justice to the people actually taking illegal actions?
