The linked post by Prince is pretty frustrating.

“This is not our stance, but we do it anyway for all the reasons we just said are bullshit.”

I have a ton of respect for Prince but this spineless double standards stuff is BS.

PS: I have no idea what the deal is with Kiwifarms and frankly I don’t care. If it’s really that bad then we need to have a judge order an injunction.

I thought it was pretty clear that they basically said "Things went from 'freedom of expression we don't like that we find questionable' to things that are almost certainly illegal, so we are forced to move, even though we would prefer law enforcement did it."
I would expect a lot more detail from Cloudflare like a list of alleged crimes and some supporting facts. Maybe even an injunction from a judge, perhaps? You know, the stuff you would normally expect in a case like this before law enforcement decided to intervene.

Honestly anything supporting the “there was an emergency and deplatforming kiwifarms just avoided it” claim would help.

They weren’t forced to do anything.
