I come from a hosting background over 20+ years so I think I have a different perspective that others here. I know cloudflare is a large public company - perhaps it is slightly different for this type of company. As a hosting provider I have in the past been noticed for certain sites with in my network that the general internet is pushing back against hosting. What happens is there is of course bad publicity but also crazy people come out - people threatening employees, getting public information on employees and owners working there, calling and threatening at your house for sites you host - which moves beyond fighting for free speech but over to how much of your personal life you and your employees do you want to disrupt for a website you don't agree with and perhaps honestly does nothing to benefit society. So while many people are claiming this is a free speech issue, I can only imagine cloudflare is getting a whole bunch of crazy coming out of the woodwork and threats to their own employees. As a business you need to decide what is worth the safety of your employees and what stands you want to take and cloudflare is deciding kiwi farms is not worth it based on the type of site it is.
