Which specific sites that Cloudfare hosts or provides services to would you like to see cut off, y’know for equal treatment.

Yea they’re scattered around. Just hypothetically, I want promise that at the very least we are not in a ideological hell hole.

The details of this is irrelevant IMO, let me repeat the argument I’m posing: Is there an objective standard that can be applied across the political spectrum?

We should be concerned that there is a political hijacking. That sits extremely unwell with me. We need to condemn all violence otherwise any actions by Cloudflare are just politics and frankly, terrifying.

  • So, which sites? If they are scattered around, please post a couple links?

    Arguing pure hypotheticals is rarely productive.

      Posing hypotheticals is exactly how to test the limits of the system. It is a key component of the legislative and law making process. The entire field of law, millions of lawyers think about hypotheticals on a daily basis to analyze, write and interpret the law. Humans have evolved to have a dedicated frontal lobe whose job is to predict hypothetical scenarios and conduct cost/benefit/planning analysis. As a software engineer, I write hypothetical inputs to create unit tests so my system doesn't break. Thinking about hypotheticals is basically fundamental to all things in life and the universe.
