  Kiwi Farms is an immensely creepy stalking forum run by manchild Joshua Conner Moon out of his mom’s house (no, literally). The people who are stalked are what are known as “lolcows” to the site’s userbase or “exceptional individuals.”

  Due to difficulties with enforcing anti-harmful speech legislation on the internet, there hasn’t been much legal action taken on Kiwi Farms, despite them being responsible for harming many people (directly and indirectly), costing them jobs and partners, exaggerating and spinning rumors, or even mentally abusing their victims to the point of suicide. In fact, the owners maintain that there is nothing illegal about the site, citing technicalities (i.e. “we don’t harass people; our users do!”) and phonebooks also distributing personal information (because “sharing the address of this person we find weird is totally the same as a printed 411!”).
