It was dangerous, but also their right to do. The CEO of Cloudflare called out his own action as capricious and not good practice, but he still did it. Because hey, they're literally nazis. And anyways, one of Cloudflare's major services is filtering out spam, noise, and malicious traffic...

The situation was called out clearly for what it was. It was his right to do it, and it was understandable that he did it, and he should be able to do it.
The problem is that the centralization of these services gives them so much power that it's problematic for free speech that they do it.
The latter is the problem.
