Is declining to participate by re-transmitting such speech even censorship? You can't force a company to take you as a customer, being a shit head isn't a protected class.


Agreed, being dropped from cloud flare isn’t censorship. It’s refusing to actively provide resources to them in their pursuit to harm people.


Also agreed, but I think in some ways there are a few companies that have too much control or influence over the internet as a whole.


CLoudflare makes it nearly impossible to operate without a large network by knownly allowing DDOS-for-Hire services to illegally use its services.


You can always just use Imperva or fastly or any other competitor for ddos mitigation


That's only a few providers and too expensive for anyone but someone using Google ads to fund their operations, because Cloudflare created that cost by its illegal actions.


Thank da Lord, a rational series of comments.

Agreed!


Regardless of the behavior of the people at kiwifarms, I still find it odd that we have protected classes of people that are more equal than others. Everyone should receive the same rights.
