Andrew Anglin was the canary. He went from one of the most active sites in the world to you probably not knowing who he is. They wrote the textbook with him as the test case. First man to be completely unpersoned/debanked by the system. He has that title. Went from being on the cover of Time magazine to not being able to have a bank account. Say what you will about him, but they did him dirty first.
He was an extreme case and certainly a good example of what will happen to the nails who stick up the hardest, and to specific individuals.
KF is a site that is far more neutral, meaning the full tactics there aren't available. So they are simply soft killing it instead with these basically unknowable to the common folk methods. And as its that much harder to explain and explain why its bad to most people, it'll likely be the method they use going forward rather than the full scorched earth of his.
