I haven't heard these claims that Cloudflare regularly drops customers, and I'm not sure they're true, though I'd be interested to read a list of occasions. The claim that Cloudflare supports the content on kiwi farms, though, is absurd.

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.

They've dropped tons of customers. They did a mass purge of sites associated with sex workers among many others. You can find lots of information on it easily: twitter.com/DanielMicay/st Not sure what's absurd about pointing out they regularly remove content they find immoral.

Replying to @DanielMicay @alicemazzy and @jkachmar
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.

Cloudflare's CEO made a unilateral decision to drop the Daily Stormer after refusing to do so due to their content because they made the mistake of shit talking him personally. If he had a personal issue with the content on Kiwi Farms, it would have been dropped a long time ago.

Yeah this seems like fear about legal liability bc of FOSTA. The fact you perceive it as merely an excuse doesn't make it so. I point out that claiming they support kiwi farms is absurd, bc once you notice your theory has absurd conclusions, that's evidence against the other ones

No one wants to publicly express political approval of a website known for users grooming children to trick autistic people into having phone sex with them. Therefore it's more likely they actually are worried about legal issues around hosting content used by sex workers.
