When I saw Daily Stormer had relocated to a .ru address, I noticed that the first thing displayed upon opening the site was a full screen notice that Cloudflare was checking my browser. I understand Cloudflare generaly trying to be a neutral provider, but if the first thing people will see when gawking at a Neo-Nazi hate site is your logo in the center of the screen, it's not a big surprise that Cloudflare decided keeping them would be bad for their PR.

On the other hand, it seems to me that minimum censorship is vital to CloudFlare's partnerships and business. It probably has many datacenters located in questionable regimes, and any hint that it performed moral discrimination would probably attract attention from govts. wanting to pressure censorship on CloudFlare, which would be an avoidable drain of resources.
