> How can anyone be harassed online to the degree that there were not enough settings

They were showing up at peoples’ houses and SWATting them. This isn’t a problem technology can solve.



I don't think technology even necessarily has a role to play here. After all, hate speech began the minute we developed language.


Have KF users ever taken credit for SWATing? It's my impression that they were - or at least Moon - always careful about not crossing the legal line.

No clue. We likely won't know until law enforcement's investigations are over. In the meantime, everyone is free to come to their own threshold. That's essentially what's going on here. If it turns out Cloudflare erred, they'd have to show the evidence that pushed them to take such an extraordinary step to regain trust.


The truth doesn't matter.
