> Kiwifarms backend server isn't on cloudflare's network

What does that even mean in practice? If you only host the php forum frontend but mysql runs at another DC then you’re also not hosting the backend, right?

Cloudflare was hosting Kiwifarms even if they weren’t hosting the backend.

> Look up safe harbor laws in relation to ISPs. They have very broad legal protection when it comes to situations like this.

And those same laws don’t apply to someone just renting out dedicated servers?

If you know more than me, perhaps you can explain to me how e.g. US law differentiates between a DC renting out dedicated servers and Cloudflare?
