I probably should have made a clearer point instead of linking to TorrentFreak.

I did not mean that I was worried that CloudFlare's DNS would start blocking sites whose content they disagree with (although that would also be worrisome).

I'm worried that copyright holders might be able to use the Daily Stormer case as a precedent to force CloudFlare to stop offering services to infringing sites.

If they are able to do that, I can also see them attempting to force CloudFlare to remove DNS entries as well.

Right, as I said, it's hard for me to see how one could be used as precedent for the other given how different the situations are. And if you could use it, you could just as easily do the same against Google DNS.

I'm not a lawyer, though.
