Today, the owner of Kiwi Farms asked for privacy for a family matter, and locked threads about #DropKiwifarms as their users were spreading too much hate.
Sometimes protecting free speech means not accepting hate speech.
Everyone has a right to privacy.
I’m glad they agree.

The free speech absolutists really struggle with the concept that giving limitless free speech to hate groups will always result in those groups suppressing the free speech of others.

They claim to believe in freedom of speech and freedom of association but when you use those exactly those rights to deplatform nazis they flip out. They aren't at all consistent either. Wrote a thread debunking their attempt to mask it that way here:

Legality is not morality. Cloudflare does the absolute bare minimum to comply with the law when it comes to their platform being used for extreme harassment. They go far beyond what they're legally required to do when it comes to deplatforming sex workers. Those are their morals.

They could have what they claim to be want (US gov moderation) if US government nationalizes Cloudflare and runs it as a public utility instead of it being a for-profit company where it doesn't apply. I have a feeling they're not going to be happy with the concept or end result.
