Cloudflare: "Its okay if you break the law, but say offensive words that don't break the law and you are outta here."

Hence, my surprise. Criminal acts = ok. Offensive legal speech = not okay.

You don't see why someone might be more opposed to actual literal swastika-carrying roman-saluting Hitler-worshipping Nazis who would be out exterminating inferior races right now if they had more followers, than to a web site that helps you download movies without paying for them?

Criminality isn't the only thing people look at for this stuff.

2017 - when people are comparing illegal downloads to Nazis, but not in a way you'd expect to. (Does this count as Godwin's law?)

This whole episode has been a vigorous reminder that many nerds are extremely rigid thinkers.

Since 2012 I've been dealing with right wingers coming onto the subject of Syria to denigrate victims of SyAAF bombing runs, justify the bombing of civilian clinics and hospitals, claim desperately that victims of Sarin attacks were dolls.

Many of them were coming from right wing circles, white nationalists. They have a thing for Assad[1], this is white nationalist group leader Matthew Heimbach promoting Assad. Many of them from different nations have been making pilgrimage to Damascus to meet with the regime[2].

Then one of these Nazi Assad fanboys runs down people in my own nation in a terrorist ramming attack.. I'm heartbroken. Many of us have been detailing this lot in great length for years but no one seems to of listened until we had a martyr in the US.

This is 2017, half a decade of this.

Sorry you didn't get your war!

Not really. Why isn't it enough to have destroyed Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya? If you destroyed Syria tomorrow, for whose blood would you thirst next?

>you destroyed Syria tomorrow

Huh?

>whose blood would you thirst next

If not in order to foment war in Syria, why do you repeat the "fake news" about supposed abuses by Assad? As for this "white nationalists love Assad" thing, that's just goofy. Did weev tweet something? Did you believe him?

Legally, it is when someone decides to sue or prosecute you for assisting a criminal enterprise.

Re:Why We Terminated Daily Stormer by mikeash on Wednesday August 16, 2017 @08:56PM (#15032773)
Who's talking about suing or prosecuting?

Anyone who wants to sue (or prosecute, if a prosecuter feels it's warranted) Cloudflare in the future when they're providing services to a site breaking the law. Common carrier doesn't apply to them, as they're not an ISP, but they've shown they make the choice, which doesn't help in front of a jury or judge.

I could see that. If true, that means that the CEO's revulsion of Nazis overcame his business sense. Which is completely expected.
