Cloudflare already provides a service which blocks a lot of LGBT content:

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.

Especially for angry conspiracy theorists who want to fight the power.

Nah m8, Cloudflare have crapped the bed here. Can't pull the 'muh both sides' nonsense, then censor the gays 5 seconds later while not doing the same to a doxxing forum riddled with fascists.

"censor the gays 5 seconds later"

They're still doing it, and again, it was a deliberate decision to source their content blocking lists from far right evangelical groups who entirely classify LGBTQ content as porn. They are STILL blocking a lot of this content today. It is NOT something that's in the past.

Again, you're repeatedly making disingenuous arguments and not acknowledging what other people are saying. You just go from strawman to strawman and lie to lie. Also really don't care if you think you're a hero for spending over 3 years doing PR ops for Facebook and other BS.
