As we approached the launching of Lou, LexBlog’s AI powered publishing assistant, I had a running list of things we needed to knock off. Tech, products, sales and support had their on list. Close to the top of my list was insurance. Did we have coverage for possible claims arising out of the use of AI? Did we need to procure additional insurance?

Kiwi Farms, operated by Joshua Moon, is best known for coordinating cyberattacks on individuals , especially people with disabilities. Few people would lament the site’s demise, but to date it has avoided legal exposure ( 1 , 2 ) and survived multiple deplatformings (e.g., CloudFlare’s block ). But if you really want Kiwi Farms gone, have you considered using copyright law for its censorial power?
