I named one. Piratebay in several of the countries it is blocked has no legal action against it at all, national ISPs just chose to block it for good boy points. The evidence of this is the fact that the site is still around, unblocked, depending on which country you access from, and many of those include EU countries, while some don't allow it. And again, this happened over a decade ago. I guess the distinction you can make is that kiwifarms is 'totally legal' - worldwide - but find the right American tranny sympathetic judge who's prepared to concoct a ruling over doxxing and harassment, then it won't be so legal for much longer.
The flavour of the leverage over ISPs is the only difference.

More to the point, in addition to being legally embattled in sweden where it has often been hosted, it is not operated in a US legal way for a US legal purpose like kiwifarms
My point is stop looking for the law to enshrine your norms. If you have no country, you have no worthwhile law. See:
Kiwifarms has certainly been legally embattled, criminally in some countries, civilly in the US. There's nothing illegal about piratebay under US law that doesn't also apply to a website like Google, YT or Twitter, but you've been conditioned to abandon any defence of it anyway, simply because a narrative made it untouchable and a handful of other shit countries caved in. Your law is not the shield you think.
Goalposts again.
Listen. The claim was that kiwi is being censored in an extralegal and historically atypical way. You haven't brought up anything that demands a reconsideration of that, just expanded or mutated qualifiers in the initial claim.
You don't have to grovel to me in admission that the distinction makes sense. I don't give a shit. And if you want to send more console-wars tier ad hominem bullshit into the black hole of my inbox, I also don't give a shit. My part in the discussion is over.
Labels for your cope don't create historical exceptions. Websites getting blackholed arbitrarily in countries that had no legal obligation to censor them, is historically typical for the past decade and the essence of extra-legality.
IDK what this garbage is. Obviously the distinction (between legal and extra-legal, I assume you're making?) doesn't make any practical sense, where the upshot is censorship. IDK what would make you assume I'd say otherwise, just seems like you're getting too mad over something.
