So cloudflare basically fucks over 8chan over some skimpy mass shooting evidence, and now has a public offering as a corporate company? Get rid of free speech as internet police and sell stock and make millions?

The Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment prohibits only governmental, not private, abridgment of speech. [1]

A CDN is hardly the Internet Police.

Irrelevant. The Supreme Court is wrong in its decision in that case, and that interpretation of the First Amendment is equally incorrect.

The supreme court is by definition correct, at least in a legal sense. Their interpretation literally is the law.

That'd be too optimistic.
