Point me to the breach you believe exists.

They have their domain pointed to their servers. As soon as HateFarms points their DNS elsewhere people will no longer get that message.

It’s clear they can cancel service; it’s not clear from the cloudflare TOS they can redirect you to their own content.
That doesn’t mean a judge would necessarily rule in kiwifarms favor or anything, but it seems obvious to me litigation could work sue to ambiguity.
Further, cloudflare could open itself to a lawsuit from police. If they already notified law enforcement then they are probably interfering in an investigation by letting the world know AND shutting down the source of said investigation.
