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...

It's you who doesn't do your research. I suggest reading twitter.com/DanielMicay/st. Cloudflare using content blocking lists from far right evangelical groups who consider LGBTQ content immoral and therefore 'adult content' is not a mistake by Cloudflare. They still use those lists.

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.

That blog post is about the 1.1.1.3 'family friendly' DNS service and has NOTHING TO DO with Cloudflare banning sex worker sites from using their DDoS protection service. Cloudflare banned sites like Switter from DDoS protection. Cloudflare doesn't ban Kiwi Farms from it.

So, Daniel, what you are implying is that you want the Americans to revoke #Section230 of the Communications Decency Act so that platforms share liability for what their users say, so therefore then #Cloudflare can block them under Terms of Use?

Once again, you're making a completely disingenuous and dishonest argument. Kiwi Farms doesn't have an issue with moderation. It has plenty of moderation. Kiwi Farms actively organizes doxxing, harassment and libel campaigns against trans and autistic people. You're full of shit.

I wonder, perhaps, if there's a better way to articulate a given position without resorting to ad hominem attacks.

Stating that an argument is completely dishonest and disingenuous isn't an ad hominem attack. It's

@AlecMuffett

who is repeatedly resorting to strawman arguments and misrepresentations of what I've stated over and over. You're essentially doing the same thing right now.

Don't expect me to continue following you, to remain one of my followers or to remain welcome in the GrapheneOS community if you're going to misrepresent my tweets and support someone who is repeatedly being dishonest and engaging in underhanded tactics to support a doxxing site.

I did none of what you claimed. I'm simply wondering if there's a way for a calmer conversation, one that can provide convincing arguments. Note that I do not support KF or any other hateful rhetoric or community. My comment was meant solely as an appeal to refine commentary.

What you're doing is tone policing someone that's part of a marginalized community targeted by Kiwi Farms based on how they're engaging with someone 'debating' with them by repeatedly misrepresenting their statements with strawman arguments and disingenuous spin about them.
