Only because people raised such a stink and actually threatened their bottom line with people boycotting them. That's literally the only fucking reason. Anyone who thinks it's actually because of silly things like "not wanting to be associated with such a disgusting, festering cesspool of a site" is naïve. It's the exact same situation as they had with 8chan.

Not sure where you got this from, this didn't seem to be in the CloudFlare blog post anywhere
What sucks is that they are still sort of protecting them. You can't DDOS them because you'll be redirected to the cloudflare page instead of to the website.
They have alternative domains. One of them is serviced by ddos-guard. I think there is one onion domain too but I've not seen it.
I fucking hope everyone at KiwiFarms dies of an anus infection caused by stabbing.
Two people downvoted this hmmm
Don't worry, looks like at least 4 people are downvoting the kneejerk reaction of a comment now
However, the rhetoric on the Kiwifarms site and specific, targeted threats have escalated over the last 48 hours to the point that we believe there is an unprecedented emergency and immediate threat to human life unlike we have previously seen from Kiwifarms or any other customer before.
Whats the story?
Kiwi Farms was bullying and doxxing a trans woman. She started a campaign against the website: https://dropkiwifarms.net
