Wow. Strong move by in its newly announced policy saying they will not exercise discretion to terminate security services to sites like the Daily Stormer going forward.
The post by and Alissa Starzak is very thoughtful.

This is nuanced. As I read this, they *will* terminate where the law so requires, including geoblocking for locally illegal content. And they will still kick people off Cloudflare's less-used *hosting* services based on their own discretionary policies. 2/

Their reasoning applies equally to other infrastructure providers. If you work at one of those, it is worth reviewing this post to see if there are parts you want to emulate. 3/

Putting removal discretion in the hands of hosts, but not infrastructure providers, follows what CF calls its "guiding principle ... that organizations closest to content are best at determining when the content is abusive." 4/

Cloudflare sits in front of the origin servers and prevents determining the host of the content, obstructing doing exactly what you're saying. Cloudflare also hosts plenty of the content themselves. I suggest familiarizing yourself with the services they provide.
