Cloudflare Inc., an internet services company, is facing mounting protests online calling for it to cease support for Kiwi Farms, a discussion forum for harassment and hate campaigns that has forced a well-known transgender Twitch streamer into hiding.
Clara Sorrenti, who live streams on Twitch under the name Keffals, has amassed a following on the platform for her political commentary, including discussions on LGBTQ rights. The 28-year-old Canadian said she recently became a target of unrelenting harassment from users on Kiwi Farms.
