JUST ONE SINGLE NOTE:

Cloudflare is a private company responsible for a product that they sell which they can choose not to sell to someone as is any company's rights.

The Fire department is a public sector entity, funded by our taxes, and we don't have any choice in which fire department we choose.

Anyone can come up with a cloudflare competitor for nazi materials, they have all the ability, money, and ability to build out data centers. All they need to do is to find people willing to build/fund it all. And it turns out those leading the charge don't know how to run a good business, and don't want to put money in, and can't find talent willing to work for them.

There already is one in Russia called DDoS Guard. They're collecting all the nazi sites under their umbrella lately

And there you go, and if DDoS Guard is not sufficient for your traffic in say... the United States... Well you can certainly pay DDoS Guard a couple of hundred million to expand into the united states. I'm sure your lord and savior will happily foot that bill (/s).

How is that not an indictment of basic internet infrastructure such that basic freedom of association has tradeoffs with needing to pay protection money to anti-DDoS companies in order to stay online?

Am I missing something or does everyone here unironically believe that Cloudflare should be punished for kicking a customer off? Because your comment has absolutely zero relevance to the point made by the article.

I feel that a lot of people do. :shrug: maybe I am wrong. If so I hang my hat in shame.
