That's the problem though. Cloudflare did not terminate DailyStormer because of the content. Cloudflare hosts over 40 ISIS related websites, which they continue to do and have not terminated. https://www.theepochtimes.com/anti-terrorist-hacker-group-reveals-40-isis-websites-protected-by-us-tech-firm_1892477.html?photo=2 https://www.theepochtimes.com/anti-terrorist-hacker-group-re...

    If you're going to weigh in on a contentious issue, particularly if you're going to correct someone, please take the time to do so with some evidence, regardless of what any other poster has commented. You can't control other's comments, but you certainly can control your own. That includes refraining from further muddying the issue.
