Kiwi Farms is openly involved in the doxxing, harassment, threats, swatting, etc. which happen on their site. They openly encourage / support it in their chat rooms and even on the forum. They aren't simply providing a platform for it. They even pick some targets as a site.

Why does Cloudflare consider Kiwi Farms openly doing doxxing / harassment / libel campaigns against trans and autistic people to be valid content for their services, but if I report a spam site they'll drop it within hours or days? There is no law requiring Cloudflare to do that.

Cloudflare banned The Daily Stormer for implying that the service might support their racist opinions. Yet, they stand by Kiwifarms when users (including the owner) repeatedly try to get people to kill themselves.
I'd respect them if they were a neutral carrier but they aren't.

Cloudflare says that the hosting companies providing origin servers to sites are the ones responsible for the content and people should contact them. Cloudflare stops you from finding out the origin server hosting used by a site with their service. It largely exists to do that.

Their claims about what their service provides are completely disingenuous. Cloudflare hosts the content for sites behind their web reverse proxy. They cache it on the edge nodes around the world and support serving it from that cache past expiry if the origin server goes down.

In order for Cloudflare's DDoS mitigation to work properly, the origin server IPs need to be kept hidden. This masks who is hosting the origin servers and Cloudflare makes that difficult to determine to obstruct the due process they say they want people to use instead.

I think the point is that people being doxxed have no redress. From what I can tell, Cloudflare does not pass C&Ds on to the ISP but instead direct to the CF account holder. This means the site owner now gets your PII and the hosting provider doesn't receive any legal letters.

Cloudflare should at least forward a copy to the ISP and provide confirmation that such action has been taken, as is the norm. If the ISP doesn't give a toss, then lawyers can do their thing to make Cloudflare hand over relevant details using via a valid court order. Due process.

Speaking as a former corporate Cloudflare customer, "The ISP" wouldn't be impossible to determine, but it'd be hard to be *consistent* about offering that as a service for redress, especially given that it's one 3rd party calling another 3rd party about…whom? User behaviour?

Not surprising that you're once again posting another blatant strawman argument where you're being disingenuous and dishonest about what other people are saying. If you're going to continue misrepresenting people's arguments, including mine, you aren't welcome in my threads.
