One more in the series: "everybody deserves good security"

Quote Tweet

All modern debate regarding privacy pivots on "who should not be permitted to have it", and the bogeymen are generally personal. This sucks, and is not scalable. *Everybody* deserves good security. Even your monsters; because you are surely someone else's monster. 3/

Again, make the choices you want, but don't pretend they are not censorship. Pick one.

Cloudflare already provides a service which blocks a lot of LGBT content: twitter.com/DanielMicay/st They already banned many sites associated with sex workers from using their DDoS protection and are still doing it. When it came to Kiwi Farms, they decided not to enforce ToS.

I know several people working as software engineers at Cloudflare. According to one of them, this incident (blog.cloudflare.com/the-mistake-th) was hardly a mistake. Cloudflare is including block lists sourced from far right evangelical groups as part of their 'family friendly' DNS service.

"Yes, yes, Cloudflare should have taken a principled stance and broken the illiberal American FOSTA law, because clearly they are in a position to fight for the rights of SWers, rather than American legislators."

"Cloudflare censors the gays and sends your kids to Nazi websites" is a headline that writes itself.

Cloudflare is objectively hosting a censorship service (1.1.1.3) they recommend for schools and libraries to adopt. The service uses data sourced from right wing evangelical groups. Have you read Cloudflare's own blog post with their apology? They all but admit to that there.

I don't see how you can consider it a mistake to block LGBTQ content by using block lists provided by a group which classifies it as inappropriate adult content and therefore gets everyone subscribing to their services such as schools to block that content as porn when it isn't.

Cloudflare didn't mistakenly choose to use a service provided by those people. They also make it seem as if they did extensive testing and put a lot of thought into what gets filtered. LGBTQ content was almost entirely filtered out, and a lot still gets filtered out 'by mistake'.

On the other hand, while the SafeSearch service they claim to be emulating obviously filters out sites like Kiwi Farms and the Daily Stormer, Cloudflare's service does not, even after it was reported to them repeatedly. It's a deliberate choice. No 'conspiracy theories' here.
