Hate-filled Kiwi Farms message board finds new home with Southwest Washington tech company

The internet message board under intense scrutiny for hateful content lost its last web services provider. Its new provider, VanwaTech, has a history of resuscitating controversial websites.
A small Vancouver web hosting firm with a history of helping controversial websites has recently struck a deal to help another notorious internet community.

Nick Lim, founder of VanwaTech, confirmed to OPB on Tuesday that his company is providing hosting services to Kiwi Farms, an internet message board under intense scrutiny for hateful content posted by some of its users.

According to NBC News, Kiwi Farms is currently at the “epicenter of vicious, anti-trans harassment campaigns,” with some users doxxing and filing false police reports against people.

The message board had temporarily fallen off the internet over the weekend. Its last web services provider, Cloudflare, blocked Kiwi Farms amid a heightened public pressure campaign. Cloudflare wrote that, in recent weeks, the message board’s content veered into potentially criminal territory.

VanwaTech’s ties to the message board became public Tuesday when Twitter users posted screenshots showing it as the new domain registrant.
