They're too cowardly to stand behind their decisions so they won't mention sites like Kiwi Farms by name. Their official accounts and executives all have their replies disabled on Twitter to shut down dissent. Their free speech act is a ridiculous sham. They drop lots of sites.

Replying to

Cloudflare does FAR MORE content moderation than required by law. They aren't a free speech host. They remove speech they disagree with every day. They host Kiwi Farms because they support the content on it. They dropped sites used by sex workers because they consider it immoral.

Cloudflare also tries to mislead people about what their services provide in order to pretend they don't host content like Kiwi Farms. The reality is that Cloudflare hosts Kiwi Farms content on their servers. They store content and serve it from their CDN. It's a hosting service.

If Cloudflare truly believed in near absolute free speech and allowed anything legal, that would be a different situation than what's happening. Kiwi Farms content isn't even legal. Openly coordinating that level of extreme harassment/doxxing/libel campaigns isn't legal content.

Many open source projects have developers who are autistic or trans. Open source developers who are in some way different from what Kiwi Farms considers normal are one of their top targets. Cloudflare says they support open source, but they don't come close to making up for this.

twitter.com/DanielMicay/st Clarification: Cloudflare supports what they consider 'valid' political speech. This appears to include a site focused on doxxing/harassing people based on them being autistic or trans. They'd kick them off in an instant if they targeted Matthew Prince.

If Kiwi Farms did what they do to others to

@eastdakota

and his friends/family too, do you think they would still be hosted there? Cloudflare considers it valid political speech when it's done to autistic and trans people. Why is that? Does that extend to Cloudflare employees?

twitter.com/DanielMicay/st Cloudflare's censored 1.1.1.3 which supposedly exists to provide family friendly internet does not block Kiwi Farms or the Daily Stormer. It mostly blocks porn and still blocks some non-porn LGBT content despite them 'fixing' it (blog.cloudflare.com/the-mistake-th).
