CEO who supposedly believes in providing a platform for free speech to everyone disables replies to their tweets to avoid criticism for hosting despicable content. They believe in free speech as long as it's not people criticizing them for neo-nazi ties.

So great to be in Austin! Love this city and our team here. Already @Cloudflare’s largest office and still growing fast.

If don't stand behind your supposed beliefs in free speech when it comes to mild criticism but you do stand behind it for a doxxing platform and legitimate neo-nazis, then it's hard to believe you're not just covering up other motivations for supporting those websites after all.

I have no problem with writing software which can be used by neo-nazis to host servers. There's a big difference between them hosting their own servers and being provided with hosting services though. Cloudflare stores and serves their content from Cloudflare servers for money.

Not providing them with hosting services is NOT silencing them, it is making their life somewhat harder since they have to run their own infrastructure and make it robust on their own. How is that a problem? Plenty of people host websites without Software as a Service platforms.

This right here. I have no clue why this is so difficult for so many to comprehend. Freedom does not obligate anyone to do business with terrible people.
