I think it was probably a tongue in cheek statement (since a lot of people would have accused them of being secret Nazis over this eventually) that Cloudflare took seriously, or at least saw as a good excuse to shut them down to appease some people while positioning themselves as strong supporters of free speech on the internet at the same time.
Doesn't matter if it was tongue in cheek, it was still said, and that's not the kind of thing CloudFlare really need associated with their name.
Of course it's going to be dragged through the mud anyway now, but at least it'll be for something they actually did.
