The sexual assault claim from Moon is actually based on a story from a Zurich Google employee associated with Liz Fong-Jones that accused her of "violating consent" due to dog hair. It's a story Liz posted herself on Twitter back then and KF picked up with archives as proof, so it's not completely made up because Moon wanted to.

Means he can put up (if his site was actually online). But stuff like this clearly shows a conflict in interest between Liz and Moon, hence what makes this story even more complicated.



I read up on this after the Cloudflare controversy. Since the site is down, I'm going off my best recollection, but here's a quick summary.

Liz Fong-Jones was friends with the founders of Trans Lifeline, a suicide hotline for trans people. The charity had an admirable mission, but people on the KiwiFarms wondered why the site frequently had no operators available, despite receiving significant funding from private individuals and other LGBTQ groups. This led to questions about where the funding was going, with many users thinking that the charity was a scam.

At some point the Trans Lifeline founders became aware of the KiwiFarms thread, and their friend Liz Fong-Jones got involved. She allegedly used her corporate @google.com email to send a complaint to KiwiFarms' email provider, in what Moon believed was an attempt to intimidate the small business by harnessing Google's clout for a personal beef [0].

Eventually the issues with Trans Lifeline hit the mainstream LGBTQ news and Twitter, the founders left the organization, and there is a filing that the organization made with the California government stating that the old founders made $350k in "unauthorized purchases" yet no criminal charges were laid [1].

He has the ability to update the HTML on the page to be more specific if he so chooses, he doesn't need the entire forum backend to do so.

I'm waiting...


He's probably busy trying to get his forum back up after your years-long campaign to intimidate and harass anyone who provides him with services.

Once it's up again, people can link to your thread that contains archives of your tweets admitting to violating someone's consent.
