Kiwi Farms

Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums, is an American Internet forum dedicated to the discussion of online figures and communities it deems "lolcows" (people who can be "milked for laughs"). The targets of threads are often subject to doxing and other forms of organized group trolling such as ongoing harassment and stalking, including real-life harassment by users.
History.
The website was originally launched as an exclusive imageboard to troll and harass a webcomic artist who was first spotted in 2007 on a 4chan video game board for having designed a homemade comic-series called "Sonichu" (a mashup of the "Sonic" and "Pokémon" universes). Eventually an Encyclopedia Dramatica page was created about Sonichu's artist. CWCki was created by people who felt that the artist's Encyclopedia Dramatica entry wasn't detailed nor accurate enough.
Controversies.
Suicide of Chloe Sagal.
In 2013, video game developer Chloe Sagal became a target of Kiwi Farms after EuroGamer.net reported Sagal's Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign had been flagged for "suspicious activity", having raised over $30,000 for an alleged metal poisoning treatment to remove shrapnel from a car accident and it was found that Sagal had actually intended to use the proceeds for sex reassignment surgery. Sagal later committed suicide by self-immolation on June 19, 2018.
"My Immortal" fan fiction authorship.
In 2017, Tumblr user and young adult fiction writer Rose Christo claimed that she was the author of the Harry Potter fan fiction "My Immortal" and that she had written it in order to locate her missing brother. She also announced that Macmillan Publishers was publishing a memoir, "Under the Same Stars: The Search for My Brother and the True Story of My Immortal", about the fan fiction's creation as well as her childhood of abuse and experiences as a Native American in the New York foster care system. A forum thread about Christo was created on Kiwi Farms discussing these claims. Christo's brother happened to be a user of Kiwi Farms and responded to the thread that almost all of her story was false, including her claims of Native American ancestry, their ever being in foster care, and her quest to find him (the crux of her memoir). Christo then admitted that she had falsified documents supporting her story but maintained that she had written "My Immortal". Macmillan Publishers cancelled the publication of her memoir.
Christchurch mosque shootings.
In March 2019, Kiwi Farms republished both the livestream and the manifesto of Brenton Tarrant, the perpetrator of the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings. Shortly after, website owner Joshua Moon publicly denied a request by New Zealand Police to voluntarily hand over all data on posts relating to the shooting, including the IP addresses of posters and their emails. Moon responded aggressively and mockingly, calling New Zealand a "shithole country", and stated that he does not "give a single solitary fuck what section 50 of your faggot law says about sharing your email". He deemed the request a censorship attempt and argued that New Zealand authorities "do not have the legal reach to imprison everyone whose posted [the video]". Kiwi Farms was one of several websites blocked by New Zealand ISPs in the wake of the attack. In New Zealand, those who were caught possessing or sharing images or videos of the attack faced charges that could result in 14-year prison sentences.
Distributed denial of service attacks.
On August 6, 2019, Joshua "Null" Moon announced that Kiwi Farms was down after a DDoS attack which occurred one day following the 2019 El Paso shooting, but users were able to access Kiwi Farms again by 4:00 PM Central Time. Moon stated that, while Kiwi Farms had in-home DDoS protection, he was looking for alternatives to Cloudflare, the security provider for Kiwi Farms.
