Specifically, the Cloudflare CEO kicked the Daily Stormer off of Cloudflare because the Daily Stormer had been suggesting that Cloudflare secretly supported them/their politics: https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-terminated-daily-stormer/

Had the Daily Stormer folks kept their mouths shut, they probably would've been fine.

And then Cloudflare continues on to describe why they don't think companies should censor content, whereas Google has numerous blogs and entire technologies revolving around how to censor content even more than they do now.

Ah yes. There’s nothing to censor if you keep your mouth shut ;)

There's a difference between saying "[highly controversial statement]. We know company X will not censor us." and "[highly controversial statement]. We know company X will not censor us because the people at company X are really on our side!"

They really should have booted them for that reasoning rather than by feeling. They even have it in their Terms of Service (and when I looked, did have it at the time of terminating the site)

> Section 18 - Because Cloudflare has no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that Cloudflare is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources.

It's a clear ToS breach, a bit of thought would have avoided the whole thing. You got lawyers on hand? Talk to lawyers!

Especially when "our side" is literally Nazis.

There's a difference between supporting someone's free speech in general and whether you want to continue with them in a business relationship because they are abusing you specifically.

I may support my friend's right to free speech in general, but if they are at my house and start bad-mouthing myself and my family, I'll ask them to leave. They can still say what they want (if not libel/slander), but they don't need to do it in my house. They can go say it elsewhere.
