Cloudflare expressed their regret for dropping the Daily Stormer and 8chan. They didn't express any regret for the many sites associated with sex workers they've blocked. They literally run censorship-as-a-service (1.1.1.3) and push for schools / libraries to adopt it...

You're also simply making another disingenuous argument. There is no slippery slope from blocking a site which openly exists for the purpose of doxxing / harassing / libelling autistic and trans people.
Cloudflare is still enforcing their ToS for sex workers, but not Kiwi Farms.

I concur that it's a travesty, and my suspicion is that it's somehow related to the Exodus-Cry (and related organisations) crusade against SWer payment mechanisms.
Calling for *more* censorship, just of people who *we* deem worthy of it, is not a progressive step.

Can you explain to me why both you and Cloudflare psee roviding DDoS protection to Switter to be hosting it, but you don't consider them to be hosting Kiwi Farms by providing them with the same service? Still waiting for an answer. You repeated the claim about hosting yourself.

Why speculate? In Vice's reporting this [image 1] is the reason which Cloudflare gave, which relates [image 2] to the "otherwise unlawful" matter in the terms of service.
Elsewhere: CF have already said they will comply with law, so make KF illegal.

Again, statements from Cloudflare's PR department are not a reliable source about why the company did something, and Cloudflare giving that as reasoning to journalists and having it reported as their reasoning in articles doesn't change that the source is Cloudflare PR.

I'm also not sure in what world Kiwi Farms is legal content. I recommend you visit Kiwi Farms and browse through what they do there. If you follow any trans women in tech, how about you look up their threads there and see what the site is all about. You don't actually seem aware.

Some place a bit south of you. Lacks a Queen. Has inflated notions of its importance.

Kiwi Farms is definitely not legal content in the US. Running intense harassment campaigns with extreme doxxing, harassment, threats, libel, etc. against people who are not public figures is not even borderline legal. There's little question what they do is illegal in the US.
