Clara Sorrenti, a trans activist who was forced to flee her home in Canada after users of a hate-filled website targeted her, has succeeded in her campaign to get the site taken offline, for now.
Sorrenti, better known by her online username “Keffals,” became the target of a harassment campaign organized on Kiwi Farms, a notorious online forum where users are openly transphobic, after she began speaking about trans rights on Twitch, a live video streaming platform popular with video gamers.
Cloudflare also blocked the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer from using its services in 2017. But Matthew Prince, the CEO of Cloudflare, has long expressed discomfort about the potential role his company could be put in if deciding what can and cannot be online. Prince’s position is frequently echoed by others in Silicon Valley who argue it shouldn’t be up to them to police speech online.
