CF outright blocked the KF domain, they didn't just rescind DDoS protection.
and deliberately not protecting a paying customer as they are attacked by DDoSing criminals is just censorship by another name. it's a critical piece of infrastructure; large sites just can't survive on the modern internet without it. it's like if the police and fire services announced they wouldn't protect a specific house from roving packs of arsonists.

- e2le 4y ago> CF outright blocked the KF domain They might be referring to CF also being the domain registrar for KF.
