Well, Cloudflare is a US company where no political ideologies are criminal, and I'm personally of the opinion that if your political order is so fragile that it can't survive the free expression of some reprehensible ideas, you've got bigger problems than "those people are saying something awful."
Either way, like I said - I was actually fine with them being a dumb pipe. I don't think they should be acting as an arm of the law in the first place, I was just making the point that most companies usually don't make a principled stand on free speech with respect to actual crimes with identifiable victims (e.g. DDoS or even copyright infringement), but then censor someone based on their political ideology / incorrect beliefs.

- reitanqild 9y agoI'll give you an upvote for that and continue to disagree in this particular case. (But as I already mentioned I'm well aware that any possibility to censor speech seems likely to be abused.)
