Not sure why you are quoting earlier content instead of Cloudflare's statement on this particular matter.
From today:
>Our terms of service reserve the right for us to terminate users of our network at our sole discretion. The tipping point for us making this decision was that the team behind Daily Stormer made the claim that we were secretly supporters of their ideology.
Seems no one woke up in a bad mood here.
If eastdakota said it, it's damning, regardless of the later PR scrubbing.
Damning? I find it humble and self-deprecating to call a lucid moment as this a "bad mood".
He also said this:
>“I realized there was no way we were going to have that conversation with people calling us Nazis,” Prince said. “The Daily Stormer site was bragging on their bulletin boards about how Cloudflare was one of them and that is the opposite of everything we believe. That was the tipping point for me.”
Don't try to market yourself as critical Internet infrastructure if you're going to throw your principals away because someone made you feel icky.
The Pirate Bay and DDOS gangs are okay, but this was the line? The worlds gone sideways.
Edit: I was proud of Cloudflare not turning them off after their domain was deregistered. Now, so disappointed. Freedom of speech is rarely the speech we agree with. Or even speech we find palatable.
