This is probably a worst case scenario for Cloudflare here. I'm generally in favor of them and I agree with their abuse policy they posted the other day.
But now twice Cloudflare has posted they won't moderate content, and then two days later done... exactly that while posting that they don't like doing it.
For folks concerned about abusive and harmful internet behavior, Prince has made it clear he doesn't feel responsible to take action and will avoid doing so as much as possible. And for folks concerned about free speech and censorship, Prince has made it clear he can be pushed around with enough pressure (regardless what the post says, it's how it will be read).
Cloudflare could've arguably taken either position with some level of righteousness, but by essentially caving to both, he proves himself to neither.
