Yeah, I guess they draw the line at "people who actually want to kill other people." I don't know you but I think it's a pretty solid line.

Well, no, actually, they don't draw the line there. They provide DDoS protection for ISIS content and Al-Qaeda content and host that content through their caching.

Maybe we should claim for them censor all those bad actors too, then. Again, intending to kill people sounds like a solid line.
To be honest, I feel they probably don't want to change their TOS regarding free speech because it creates a new headache for them (now they have to hire people to deal with the claims, make sure a lawyer checks each time they cancel a contract, etc.) In that sense, a "tactical" cancellation of the service like they did with Daily Stormer is probably the most reasonable way to go about it.
You might dislike it, but it's their right.
