You can say whatever you want, but I am under no obligation to (a) listen to it or (b) help deliver it to the masses. That is why I agree that providers such as CloudFlare (should) have the ability to refuse to host content such as this.
- londons_explore 7y agoI agree, but I'm still surprised at cloudflares decision. If I'm hosting some content, I now have to worry about if my content might violate their opinions of 'tastelessness', and if so, I might be given 24 hours to leave. If I were a customer, that's a small risk but a big impact. I'd prefer a provider that didn't do that.
- bmurphy1976 7y agoIn the two cases where CloudFlare has done this to date they seem to draw the line at murder. That seems pretty reasonable to me. Do you think any other provider you may do business with has a more liberal policy than CloudFlare? Have you actually read the terms of service for any of them? If this is the thing that changes how you view CloudFlare then you are already on shaky ground.
- leereeves 7y agoDid you call for Comedy Central to be shut down after Larry Wilmore said:“I don’t want to give [Trump] any more oxygen. That’s not a euphemism, by the way. I mean it literally." Or after the shootings of Congresspeople, arguably inspired by all the celebrities calling for violence? Or is your outrage (and CloudFlare's) partisan?
- bmurphy1976 7y agoHuh? I'm not calling for anything. Simply stating CloudFlare is well within their rights to tell 8chan to fuck off and nobody should be surprised by this.
