If they had not kicked stormer I would be jumping on this - unfortunately it shows me that it's another service that can not be trusted to remain a neutral dumb pipe. Even worse they showed the world that they can be used to take things down / offline.
The day that happened I lost faith in American Internet, and actually now advocate for regulation of registrars and companies like cloudlfare - when you corner so much of the market (through low pricing using google's resources and others) for protecting transmission of data / information and you start blocking data on whims - you are no better then [insert other censorship regime here] -
they are not the only ones, godaddy has shown itself as a censor for various groups and so have others.
I can understand refusing to be a host / disabling hosting, but as far as data transmission, domain name registrars and similar internet functions, it should be let everything through and don't get involved imho.
