I think you're losing the plot here. Nothing has any moral obligation to do anything in this universe. Morality doesn't exist. And we're all just making it up as we go.

Now that we've established that nothing matters, the reason is because a lot of us feel that Cloudflare should do something about it.

Bloody hell, I am definitely losing the plot. The reason you feel that way is because a lot of other people do? You have absolutely no rationale or thought process for the disparities between organizations x and y except that people are mad at organization y and not organization x?
Yep, you've lost the plot.
I'm throwing you a real softball question and you've whiffed it like 5 times in a row.

You personally find it ethical to systemically take a stance on the exact same speech in some situations and not in others for what you yourself describe as arbitrary and meaningless distinctions. Why?

Again, you're losing the plot.
You should entertain the idea that they claim they have a stronger responsibility to the principals of free speech than the communities you claim are harmed by their customers content.
You should entertain the idea that they're just ideologues who don't really know what they're doing.
The fact that you think you know what’s best for all parties involved is exactly why we protect/value free speech the way we do in the US.
This is pathetic. If this is your rationale for why KF should be denied DDoS protection then I hope you fail. Nothing matters so do what we want. If nothing matters why does it matter if your favourite streamer is killed by a SWAT team, I'm sure a lot of people want it to happen too.
