“We don’t believe we should wield the power that we do, in fact, wield by the very nature of our business, so we’re going to completely absolve ourselves of all responsibility and continue to enable and empower child abuse, violence, and hate. It’s the obviously moral path.”

My god get absolutely fucked @Cloudflare. They’re trying to wash their hands of any moderation responsibilities: “power to terminate [the sites] is not a power Cloudflare should hold” — bullshit! But that’s not all. Absolute slap in the face, they’re trying to rainbow wash it! twitter.com/Cloudflare/sta…

Cloudflare drops sites from their service on a daily basis for having content they dislike. They remove sites with adult content, support for sex workers, etc. They also drop sites they deem to be posting spam. Cloudflare's censored 1.1.1.3 DNS blocks lots of LGBT content, etc.

One of the sex worker sites they banned from their main services was just a Mastadon instance for sex workers to talk to each other (Switter). They banned that, but not Kiwi Farms. theverge.com/2018/4/19/1725 Government never ordered them to ban this. It was entirely their choice.
