What principles? I can't find a mission statement or list of principles on their site, and it wasn't long ago that Cloudflare joined GoDaddy and others in shutting down the Daily Stormer -- one of the principles of a CDN might be supporting a free and open internet, but that isn't supported by their actions.
- calimac 8y agoExactly, Cloudflare's virtue signaling S.F. Executives made it clear in an open letter that they are totally ok with squashing "hate speech" because of their Moral obligation. That day, I made the point that they just screwed themselves. They should never have ever impeded any traffic ever because now there's precedent. Virtue Signaling Leftist shoot themselves in the foot again. #LiberalismIsAMentalDissorder
- cannonedhamster 8y agoWhile I agree with you in principle, they aren't required to host content that they don't want to. They certainly shouldn't be actively shutting down content, however that's not the same as declining to host content. I'm somewhat surprised that a conservative network hasn't been established to support the White Power, Alex Jones, Gab types of places. It would seem to be at the minimum a viable business for a niche audience.
