They didn't say that there was "dangerous escalation" in the past two weeks. They said that there was a pressure campaign over the last two weeks, and they also said that they didn't want to comply with this campaign.
They, crucially, said that there was dangerous escalation over the past 48 hours, i.e., since Thursday. Given that most of us have jobs, we might not have noticed. But what changed in 48 hours that led Cloudflare to contact law enforcement?
Cloudflare didn't say that they contacted law enforcement in the last 48 hours; they said that they've been in contact with law enforcement for weeks and law enforcement hasn't acted (i.e. to give them a court order to shut the thing down.)

Several hit-pieces in the media? Saw nothing out of the ordinary in the thread about Keffals a couple hours ago.
I don't know what else has been there, but this seems like it would qualify, no?

I understand that it's since been deleted.
Maybe, but people shitposting about blowing up half a city just to annoy a streamer doesn't really sound like the kind of threat that would make a company do a 180 on their position..
It was deleted as it is against the rules of the site? The strawman of "damage control" seems like a retrofit by Keffals.
Err, how would that qualify as a legitimate threat?
