Since he obviously read my thread(s), is also clearly aware that Cloudflare censored a completely Mastadon instance Switter and many other sites. It's a disingenuous strawman and he's also just projecting. He's okay with censorship when it matches his own views...

Alas you're not aware of my pro-SWer work; but I also believe that Cloudflare is on the path to be less censorious — if only civil society can stop trying to make them moreso.
The general problem, though, is this:

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.

Kiwi Farms is not political speech. Kiwi Farms is a doxxing, harassment and libel forum which openly exists for the purpose of pushing their targets out of society and trying to get them to kill themselves. Kiwi Farms is used to silence free speech through illegal aggression.

Cloudflare's CDN hosts their content at their edge nodes around the world and serves it from there. It masks the origin server IP making it difficult to determine the origin server hosting service. They provide the option to keep serving content when the origin server goes down.

Silencing doxxing, harassment and libel is not silencing any legitimate speech. Kiwi Farms is also not simply a place where that occurs. It doesn't simply have bad moderation. It's the purpose of the site and the admins/moderators don't just encourage it but participate/lead it.

This is nonsensical. How does Planned Parenthood relate to a site that harasses marginalized people and brags about their kill count?

is simply completely full of shit. They argue completely through lies and fallacies, not acknowledging what people have said and just repeatedly misrepresenting and spinning it. Look through their feed and their replies here. They're doing exactly what I called out.
Funny how, so far, I have entirely avoided a requirement to refer to you at all. Ad hominem is not a strong means to argue.
