If vanwatech (8kun's owner company, I think) can make their own hosting and resiliency platform with a box of scraps after being dumped by cloudflare, I'm sure Kiwifarms can do the same. I actually felt Kiwifarms is long overdue for getting a light shined on it, but I'm not going to pretend that booting it off Cloudflare is going to solve anything. It seems to me that Cloudflare is providing them a common, readily available service that can and has been done in-house, so I don't get the goal here. You won't boot them off the internet by chasing them from every provider, because they'll find one who doesn't care, or do it themselves. Given it's an unremarkable service, providers should therefore take their money, or, better yet, screw them on price and charge them extra for the hassle of being a risky customer.
As an aside, I am annoyed that Kiwifarms has quietly existed all this time and this is the best effort that people can come up with to try and affect it, and this late. It honestly should have been shut down a long time ago. Unlike _chans, reddit, somethingawful, etc, I'm not sure even a single good thing has come out of that place.

Yeah, Gab is also using Cloudflare and it seems that as long as Gab takes down illegal content (CP, copyright infringement, etc) Cloudflare won't do anything. I expect Kiwifarms to also do the same and Cloudflare will not do anything else.
