CF isn't a utility. KF is perfectly capable of operating on their own, without CF's products. This is strictly a matter of CF's desire to continue to do business with them. Their whole spiel on the blog post about how they're a utility is just dancing around the issue - they have no legal obligations that an actual utility does. It's an interesting discussion if they, and others like them, should be considered a utility. But that's neither here nor there because they aren't one.
- derangedHorse 4y agoI don’t think CF ever said they had a legal obligation and I don’t think they ever wanted to be perceived as if they do so I don’t think the reminder in your comment changes any stances. The fact of the matter is that people are mad because CF is protecting a site against digital vigilante justice instead of finding a better means to approach taking down KF. As a company CF could deny service to KF but then it would be giving power to the vocal dissidents who could seemingly quiet any site they find disagreeable.
