At all levels, and Cloudflare isn't exempted from that. Social media platforms already routinely decline to host content via moderation.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoSo is it your position that the phone company should disconnect anyone that they believe is saying mean things about people? Mainstream social media also largely does not moderate nearly well enough to uphold the standard that you are applying to Cloudflare.
- jefftk 4y agoDoes "at all levels" include ISPs? Electricity providers?
- loteck 4y agoAll levels of awareness have responsibility. While telcos and ISPs do have enforcement mechanisms when they are made aware, using Cloudflare's own suggested model, Cloudflare is closer to the content and therefore responsible earlier.
- jefftk 4y ago> All levels of awareness have responsibility. While telcos and ISPs do have enforcement mechanisms when they are made aware I don't think that's right? Legally we've set things up so that no matter how despicable your site is, your telco or ISP can't decide on their own shut you off. They're regulated as infrastructure, and are required to keep doing business with you. They'll shut you off if they receive a court order, but not on their own judgement.
