I think this an uncharitable simplification of a complex issue. Cloudflare tries to balance itself between censorship and overreach of what their customers are doing with their service (booting off Parlor earlier this year for example) as well as what the law-enforcement legally requires them to do. If Al Queda hosts a website on AWS, the problem is exactly the same.

And now, we have people essentially conspiring that Cloudflare creates their own DDoS attacks just so to prevent it based on a glib oversimplification.
