They pulled the plug on a white supremacy site, the Daily Stormer.
Hardly a problem with most people, but they certainly exercise content-level discrimination (in the most neutral sense of the word).
- acdha 9y agoThat’s not what was claimed: the Daily Stormer wasn’t annoying a major tech company even if most of their employees find Nazis detestable. That case is also complicated by the claim that they dropped that site in response to Daily Stormer people claiming CloudFlare supported their ideology. Given the number of objectionable sites which they continue to provide service to, that seems plausible.

- drb91 9y agoHmm, fair, I suppose. But if they remove a site arbitrarily for one motivation, why not a profit motivation? I have no idea where the remark about the other tech giants comes from, though.
