Are any people in agreement with me that Cloudflare's emphasis on neutrality is actually a bad thing?
I see several comments admiring how Cloudflare is willing to serve alt-right/nationalist/racist content in the name of avoiding censorship.
I never understood why this is a good thing. The argument seems to be that not-censoring things is valuable because who knows when Cloudflare censors something that is actually valuable/not racist or nationalist.
Considering tech companies tend to censor right-wing extremist content, I consider the probability of that happening to be very low.
- ksec 7y agoI quite like the way how Cloudflare has managed things so far. It is like Apple being the GateKeeper, they have the power, but they wont use it unless they absolutely have too. If they started to actively banning and censoring content then at some point they are highly likely to corupt themselves and misuse that power.
