JUST ONE SINGLE NOTE:
Cloudflare is a private company responsible for a product that they sell which they can choose not to sell to someone as is any company's rights.
The Fire department is a public sector entity, funded by our taxes, and we don't have any choice in which fire department we choose.
Anyone can come up with a cloudflare competitor for nazi materials, they have all the ability, money, and ability to build out data centers. All they need to do is to find people willing to build/fund it all. And it turns out those leading the charge don't know how to run a good business, and don't want to put money in, and can't find talent willing to work for them.
- afrcnc 4y agoThere already is one in Russia called DDoS Guard. They're collecting all the nazi sites under their umbrella lately
- Justsignedup 4y agoAnd there you go, and if DDoS Guard is not sufficient for your traffic in say... the United States... Well you can certainly pay DDoS Guard a couple of hundred million to expand into the united states. I'm sure your lord and savior will happily foot that bill (/s).
- BeFlatXIII 4y agoHow is that not an indictment of basic internet infrastructure such that basic freedom of association has tradeoffs with needing to pay protection money to anti-DDoS companies in order to stay online?
- unixbane 4y agoAm I missing something or does everyone here unironically believe that Cloudflare should be punished for kicking a customer off? Because your comment has absolutely zero relevance to the point made by the article.
- Justsignedup 4y agoI feel that a lot of people do. :shrug: maybe I am wrong. If so I hang my hat in shame.
