I would agree with you, however please take a look at a statement from CloudFlare earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32707821

"Our decision today was that the risk created by the content could not be dealt with in a timely enough matter by the traditional rule of law systems."

Booter services have been using CloudFlare for the better part of a decade, sure individual services come and go but the trend is persistent. So for booter services a decade is enough time for the rule of law to make the decision but another type of controversial platform follows it's own arbitrary timeline, and I would argue that is setting the most dangerous precedent of all, especially when the 'risk' created by a particular type of content doesn't outweigh any potential financial incentives.

Ok, I honestly know nothing about this topic, I just read the article and my comment is merely a critique of the original article's internal logic and nothing more.
