Cloudflare Urged to Stop Protecting LGBTQ Harassment
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 according to bnnbloomberg.ca .
Sorrenti said police descended on her home in London, Ontario, on Aug. 5 and wrongfully arrested her after someone pretending to be her emailed fake threats of violence to city officials, an incident known as swatting. After she moved undercover, Sorrenti said Kiwi Farms users tracked her every move and publicised her location — a tactic called doxxing, bnnbloomberg.ca reports.
