Similarly, following the events in El Paso, Texas, we terminated the account of 8chan. We received significant adverse feedback for these decisions from those concerned about our ability to pass judgment on our customers and the users of our platform, or to censor them by limiting their access to our products, and we are aware of potential customers who decided not to subscribe to our products because of this. Within the next week we'll see the trends that represent how much nouse their IPO made (IPO news is generally slower moving): https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%201-m&geo=US&q=cloudflare https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%201-m&ge... Side note: you can see that an outage makes about 4x more noise than PR about DDOS protecting a website like 8chan: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2019-06-25%202019-08-08&geo=US&q=cloudflare https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2019-06-25%202...
