Cloudflare drops sites from their service on a daily basis for having content they dislike. They remove sites with adult content, support for sex workers, etc. They also drop sites they deem to be posting spam. Cloudflare's censored 1.1.1.3 DNS blocks lots of LGBT content, etc.

They're too cowardly to stand behind their decisions so they won't mention sites like Kiwi Farms by name. Their official accounts and executives all have their replies disabled on Twitter to shut down dissent. Their free speech act is a ridiculous sham. They drop lots of sites.

Cloudflare does FAR MORE content moderation than required by law. They aren't a free speech host. They remove speech they disagree with every day. They host Kiwi Farms because they support the content on it. They dropped sites used by sex workers because they consider it immoral.

Cloudflare also tries to mislead people about what their services provide in order to pretend they don't host content like Kiwi Farms. The reality is that Cloudflare hosts Kiwi Farms content on their servers. They store content and serve it from their CDN. It's a hosting service.

If Cloudflare truly believed in near absolute free speech and allowed anything legal, that would be a different situation than what's happening. Kiwi Farms content isn't even legal. Openly coordinating that level of extreme harassment/doxxing/libel campaigns isn't legal content.

Many open source projects have developers who are autistic or trans. Open source developers who are in some way different from what Kiwi Farms considers normal are one of their top targets. Cloudflare says they support open source, but they don't come close to making up for this.

You’re confusing their hosting services with their security services which they have completely separate policies for. They remove sites from their hosting services if they break their policies or at their general discretion.
