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.

Cloudflare banned Switter from using their DDoS protection which is provided as part of their caching reverse proxy. Cloudflare's main service is the reverse proxy. They weren't hosting Switter, they were proxying to it, which they say doesn't count as hosting the content.

Do you have a link? Vice seems to say they hosted it

Cloudflare has been saying that their caching reverse proxy doesn't count as hosting sites but the overall consensus is that it counts as them being part of hosting the site. It's in their interest to portray it as not being hosting to reduce the responsibility people expect.
