> Cloudflare will protect any site that doesn't host child porn
Doesn't that make it worse? They aren't saying they don't or won't police the content they protect. They are obviously capable and willing to draw a line on ethical or legal grounds, if they have done so in that case. They have just chosen to draw that line on one side of porn but another side of DDoS services.
Ultimately it is their decision to make, but I don't think it's unfair for people to question possible conflicts of interest in how that decision is made.
Why are you combining legal and ethical? They're capable and willing to draw a line on legal grounds. Seems pretty clear.
Not combining, that's why I said or.
And I said that because I'm not sure why they've made that decision...it could have been either or both. And sale of DDoS service is arguably illegal in at least some places, so they obviously aren't rejecting all illegal content.
