cloudflare re: 8chan re: dayton 

the fact that the cloudflare ceo was very reluctant about the prospect of canceling service to a crucible of terrorism should tell you everything you need to know about cloudflare, their ceo, and their politics as a company

cloudflare re: 8chan re: dayton (also kf) 

meanwhile they continue to serve kiwifarms, which is also a malicious breeding ground for terrible people, which also has a body count, but it's not quite as newsworthy because it's not ~*~terrorism~*~

makes me wonder what cloudflare would have done if 8chan wasn't so high profile

cloudflare and kiwifarms, bffs (admittedly hearsay) 

i have heard tell that some folx have attempted to report kiwifarms to cloudflare, and cloudflare responded by... giving information about the reports and the people doing the reporting... to kiwifarms

i would look up sources for this but you must forgive me, my heart is blackened enough by all this already

anyway cloudflare is complicit in a lot of murder

cloudflare re: 8chan re: dayton 

@typhlosion im glad they’re finally pulling the plug, but omg they could have done this so long ago

cloudflare re: 8chan re: dayton (kf + white nationalism mentions) 

@coda it doesn't even matter! 8chan is just gonna come back using a competitor that doesn't care as much! they did exactly this same "reluctantly canceling service" song and dance with the daily stormer, and that's what the daily stormer did

meanwhile they continue to serve kiwifarms, which is a similarly malicious hellhole that also has a body count but isn't as newsworthy because it's not ~*~terrorism~*~

re: cloudflare re: 8chan re: dayton (also kf) 

@typhlosion Probably the same thing they did when someone pointed out all of the child porn on 8-chan. Absolutely nothing.

cloudflare re: 8chan re: dayton 

@typhlosion Honestly, it was already clear from how reluctant they were to ban the Daily Stormer a few years ago.

cloudflare re: 8chan re: dayton 

@ghost_bird yep! and then the stormer came back using a competing service, and 8chan is gonna do exactly the same thing, and nobody wins except cloudflare, who get to wash their grubby little amoral quasicentrist hands of the whole thing

cloudflare re: 8chan re: dayton 

@typhlosion If this is an argument that cloudflare should do nothing, I disagree.

cloudflare re: 8chan re: dayton 

@ghost_bird oh no that's not what i meant at all!! im just frustrated while also being aware of all the subtle little optics at play

cloudflare re: 8chan re: dayton 

@typhlosion Yeah, that's totally fair. Still, all the things that aren't quite enough do add up over time.

cloudflare re: 8chan re: dayton 

@ghost_bird i hope so... it just feels so hopeless from here
