Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums, is an American Internet forum dedicated to the ongoing harassment and stalking of online figures and communities it deems "lolcows": the eccentric, artistic, or mentally ill.[3]

The targets of threads are often subject to doxing, sealioning and other forms of organized group trolling, including real-life harassment by users.[4][5]

History
The website was originally launched as an imageboard dedicated to transgender webcomic artist Christine Weston Chandler, known as Chris-Chan, who came to prominence in 2007 on 4chan's video game board for Sonichu, a mix-up of Sonic the Hedgehog from the franchise of the same name and Pikachu from the Pokémon series, webcomic.[4]

On January 24, 2017, the website was briefly shut down after investigative work by Samuel Collingwood Smith (also known online as Vordrak and Matthew Hopkins), who in the previous year had been awarded £10,000 in defamation damages by UK courts against Encyclopedia Dramatica users “LikeICare” and “KiwiDynastia".[6] The site was reopened roughly a month later.[citation needed]

Controversies

Suicide of Chloe Sagal
In 2013, video game developer Chloe Sagal became a target of Kiwi Farms after EuroGamer.net reported Sagal's Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign had been flagged for "suspicious activity", having raised over $30,000 for an alleged metal poisoning treatment to remove shrapnel from a car accident it was found that Sagal had intended to use the proceeds for sex reassignment surgery. Sagal later committed suicide by self-immolation on June 19, 2018.[7][8]

Christchurch mosque shootings
In March 2019, Kiwi Farms became notable for republishing both the livestream and the manifesto of Brenton Tarrant, the perpetrator of the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings. Shortly after, Moon publicly denied a request by New Zealand Police to voluntarily hand over all data on posts relating to the shooting, including the IP addresses of posters and their emails.[9] Moon responded aggressively, calling New Zealand a "shithole country",[9] and stated that he does not "give a single solitary fuck what section 50 of your faggot law says about sharing your email".[10][11]
Moon's response garnered mixed to negative reception. New Zealand publications that covered the story criticized Moon for his rudeness and unwillingness to cooperate with law enforcement; Newshub called Moon's message "aggressive" and "mocking".[12]
