Of course that’s always one criteria. But at it’s core it just comes down to certain customer relationships being deeply unprofitable and not worth continuing.

Sure, it could. Good luck building a decent forum on IPFS though.

Yes, Tor services are particularly easy to DoS and there's pretty much nothing the DoS recipient can do about it.

A random Alibaba Cloud customer got breached. You tried to make it sound like Alibaba Cloud was breached. In reality this has nothing to do with either Alibaba Cloud nor Tiktok.

Did you actually read what you linked? Alibaba cloud wasn't breached, one of the tens of thousands of Alibaba cloud customers had a database exposed to the internet. Same happens with AWS and Azure all the time.

No mob justice here, just a private company choosing to not offer their services to a reprehensible organisation.

Not sure I follow, burglary usually refers to entering a building without permission for the purpose of committing another crime e.g. theft. Bringing stolen goods back and arranging them as they were before would often be a sufficient defen

I don't know how things work in Australia, but I'd be really surprised if someone signing up to sell apps on the app store would be treated as a consumer. Also, paying for the right to develop on Apple platforms is hardly a servic

If the numbers from DoJ are to be believed, this was far from the largest DDoS-for-Hire operation by revenue.

DDoS-Guard and VanwaTech are both tiny companies and represent less than 1% of the market. There are hundreds of providers that offer decent DDoS protection. DDoS-Guard and VanwaTech are just specialist providers that offer hosting to web

Cloudflare is not a monopoly provider at all. You work PR for Cloudflare, right?

Even if true, Cloudflare does much more than just DDoS protection.

Oh come on, this is absurd. Anyone who has ever browsed kiwifarms knows that the site is in fact dedicated to doing such things.

Sure, but the site can also come back online through an alternate hosting provider if their origin servers go down. How is that any different? And even then, the concept of “origin server” is pretty vague.

Why is Cloudflare supposed to be a common carrier but a regular hosting provider isn't?

So what if they aren’t hosting the backend? How do you even define “the backend”? Is it the PHP frontend code serving the site? Or the database server? Cloudflare definitely was hosting the content through their CDN. That’s hosting, there’s

Technically that’s literally how it works. Legally? Do you have evidence to support that theory?
