Free speech does not cover defamation.
- fjordelectro 4y agoSounds like something for the courts to handle and not cloudflare. https://casetext.com/case/scott-v-moon-1 https://casetext.com/case/scott-v-moon-1
- Pxtl 4y agoYou could say that about a lot of things that are normally covered by abuse policies. For example, we expect hosts to remove content that violate copyright, why is copyright more worthy of protection at the corporate level than defamation?
- howdyfolks 4y agoBecause society created laws in that way?
- nradov 4y agoThe DMCA specifically requires hosts to remove content upon an allegation of copyright infringement. There is no law requiring hosts to remove defamatory content (without a specific court order). Congress has deemed copyright protection more worthy of protection at the corporate level than defamation. If you are unhappy with that situation then you should contact your members of Congress.

- cowtools 4y agoInteresting. I typed up a comment that mentioned the name of the person co-ordonating the DDoS campaign, and I got instantly flagged. Test.
- subsistence234 4y agoIf KF are guilty of defamation or other crimes, go after them in court. Don't try to bully cloudflare into acting as executioner of your demands.
