The last place I worked paid hard-earned money during a recession to migrate their properties off of CloudFlare because they were providing CDN services to the Proud Boys and the CEO had made some equivocal statement that they didn't think it was their responsibility to police content. It's an interesting topic and possibly a genuine slippery slope about what sort of responsibility service providers have over their customers use of their platform. It's one thing for dangerous content to be hosted, moderated and monetized on a platform like facebook. But what about just caching it blindly?
- throwaway45349 6y agoYou're joking, right? I for one am proud of Cloudflare for taking a stand against cancel culture, because one of these days it could hit you or me and I want to support people who will stand in behind me in the name of free speech.
- zionic 6y agoThe irony is he's also wrong, cloudfare canceled daily stormer and made a big fuss about it.
- tootie 6y agoIs "cancel culture" defined as being anti-Nazi or something? "Cancelling" is absolutely an expression of free speech.
- throwaway45349 6y agoCreating a cancel culture is exactly what the Nazis did to push their agenda. I can be anti-Nazi and pro-free speech.
- tootie 6y agoI think it's disingenuous to say "cancelling" is an invalid tactic and more than saying violence is an invalid tactic. Cancelling Nazis is as acceptable as shooting them by thousands was in the 1940s. I don't think it's at all unreasonable for us to be able to draw a line at what kind of speech we consider harmful. And saying the line is Nazism is an easy starting point.
- zionic 6y agoSounds like terrible leadership. I'm sure gmail is used to send child porn every day, should you cancel gsuite? Companies like cloudfare are supposed to be dumb infrastructure, not your political cudgel.
