Who is “they” in that context? Cloudflare? There was no CF or internet in the 30s, I don’t understand your comment.

- ornornor 4y agoThanks. Wasn’t aware of this.

- tedivm 4y agoSeveral actually. I've posted this before, but I've had issues with their security people essentially stalking me after I made some negative comments here awhile ago. It seems most of those people have been fired or have resigned after all the bad press, but for awhile their security team was pretty far right.
- wahnfrieden 4y agoCan you elaborate?
- nibbleshifter 4y agoWho? I used to know a fair number of CF employees a while back. Most were fairly liberal/left leaning, one was somewhat libertarian-right, but not what I'd describe as a "Nazi".
- wahnfrieden 4y agoThe one that posted “I’m a nazi” among other things while employed there. I'm not being vague, that's the direct quote you can google. They were GNAA president (taking over for weev, the dailystormer admin), there's your ID. weev also claimed he had another (different) sympathetic insider at cf supporting him with dailystormer or other activities, btw, but that's unverified
- nibbleshifter 4y agoWhich one is that, specifically? I dislike cloudflare myself, but if you are going to make an assertion about their employees, you should bring a source instead of vagueposting.
- arp242 4y ago- Cloudflare offers hosting to everyone, including content such as this: Cloudflare are the Nazi fascists of the internet! - Cloudflare makes decisions who to offer hosting to, refusing to offer hosting to Nazis and the like: Cloudflare are the Nazi fascists of the internet! No matter what they do, they can never win; someone is always going to complain loudly.
- shrimp_emoji 4y agoA common symptom of having too much power
- deadbeeves 4y agoOne thing they can certainly be criticized for is having no consistent criteria for deciding who or what to provide service to.
- arp242 4y agoWhat would that even look like? There are far too many variables and nuances to have a comprehensive set of written rules. That's why we have judges.
- deadbeeves 4y agoFor example, "we will serve anyone who will pay, as long as we don't break the law in doing so". That seems easy enough to do, I'd say. If you can't get a service provider to tell you in clear terms under what circumstances they may cut you off, they're not a provider you should rely on.
- arp242 4y agoThat would be situation one from the earlier comment, and would end with "Cloudflare are the Nazi fascists of the internet!" from some people. It's also what the Cloudflare policy is, AFAIK, barring a few notable extreme exceptions which can be counted on one hand – a miniscule portion of their user base. I think it's too strong to say "they're not a provider you should rely on".
