Will you also ban violent threats from the left to Andy Ngo? He has been thoroughly documenting it. And published a NYT bestseller “Unmasked”, a written account of how violence from the extreme left is being ignored. I’d like to see equal treatment, that’s the least worst option. I want extreme objectivity at the highest level. Edit: I’m questioning OBJECTIVITY and Andy Ngo is just a fucking example. Find some hypothetical antifa forum, the point is about standards.

Which specific sites that Cloudfare hosts or provides services to would you like to see cut off, y’know for equal treatment.

  Yea they’re scattered around. Just hypothetically, I want promise that at the very least we are not in a ideological hell hole. The details of this is irrelevant IMO, let me repeat the argument I’m posing: Is there an objective standard that can be applied across the political spectrum? We should be concerned that there is a political hijacking. That sits extremely unwell with me. We need to condemn all violence otherwise any actions by Cloudflare are just politics and frankly, terrifying.

    So, which sites? If they are scattered around, please post a couple links? Arguing pure hypotheticals is rarely productive.

      > Arguing pure hypotheticals is rarely productive. Posing hypotheticals is exactly how to test the limits of the system. It is a key component of the legislative and law making process. The entire field of law, millions of lawyers think about hypotheticals on a daily basis to analyze, write and interpret the law. Humans have evolved to have a dedicated frontal lobe whose job is to predict hypothetical scenarios and conduct cost/benefit/planning analysis. As a software engineer, I write hypothetical inputs to create unit tests so my system doesn't break. Thinking about hypotheticals is basically fundamental to all things in life and the universe.
