Principles are tested in hard times.

In half of Europe Nazis were replaced by Stalinists...hope we're not on the same path.

Legally 1st amendment is protection against the government, but principally it should be applied to any entity with national or global power.

Racist, Nazis or anyone can say what they want (minus explicit call for violence), and the opposing side has the equal right to prove them wrong. That's the beauty and intent of the 1st Amendment. How people are cheering this decision, seems rather shortsighted to me.

It's ridiculous to call Cloudflare this. There are tons of alternative CDNs. They have as much "power" as your local bookstore.
