      Unclear what is going on over at InfoWars, but the website has been unavailable all day (possible DDoS attack). Now users are being greeted by this message when they visit.pic.twitter.com/1PTTAZU3pU

          Cloudflare (that error) usually protects against DDOS. That error usually means an internal problem. Not sure in this case, tho.

          Cloudflare has DDOS protection, unlikely it's that, although who knows.

          Hey! Do your job. If people want to listen they will. But since CNN LIES everyone heads to Infowars. Now your job is to silence your opponents because your full of crap. Pretty sad.

          That's a @cloudflare error message. It would imply their server is down. I would be surprised if they weren't using them for DDoS attack prevention. If so, I think they're trying to create more uproar over "censorship".

          I know from my experience that Cloudflare is virtually invulnerable to DDoS attacks. This looks like Alex Jones' web devs were doing maintenance on the website so they can decorate it with that "we are under attack!" LARP.
