>Should Cloudflare be forced to host 8chan?

If they have a monopoly on a necessary infrastructure, yes.

Alternatively, should the local power company be forced to provide electricity service to a resident in their area they do not like?

Utilities are regulated and it generally is for the good of the consumer to not have their heat/ac turned off in either extreme.

Are you suggesting this is somehow equivalent? Should we regulate the internet and hosts that serve?

That is the entire purpose of the Net Neutrality Debate, which most on HN support but then go against the spirit of that debate when a company shuts down people they find politically abhorrent

You can not support Net Neutrality and support this action by CF without being a hypocrite
