This is pretty much the Alex Jones-style precedent for shutting down websites for Wrongthink. KF was already somewhat in the pit, so it's flying under the radar or openly ignored by some advocates. Examples are always set based on what the sheep already agree is "baaaaaaahd" before the chokehold tries to tighten on the more innocuous (KF could be considered as such already, aside from the doxxing)
Where are those that screeched about Net Neutrality several years ago?

KF is basically the canary for how the rest of us will be censored. Its the most "evil" place possible, so they basically are cutting down every rule and law and precedent possible to shut it down and most are clapping along without seeing how those weapons will one day face them.
Its like lolicon in that way, ironic given Nool's utter hatred for the stuff.
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.
