Cloudflare backs white nationalist website for terrorizing interracial couples

Oh come on, can we stop calling hosting a service as "backing" things. Whatever happened to the idea of providing a service disclaiming of who you're providing a service to?

I agree.

There was a lot of outrage when a religious bakery refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. The argument was that they should serve every customer, even if they disagree.

But now we're requesting precisely the opposite from Cloudflare.

These two things are very much not alike.

The key difference: when the baker refused to provide service to a protected class based, they were discriminating.

White supremacists (not a protected class) being refused service is quite different and not at all comparable.

When its OK for a public business to discriminate against "some people" because they're "not a protected class," we've lost the point.

How much longer are you a "protected class?"

Not sure what this has to do with _me_, and I never stated whether or not I'm OK with Cloudflare's policy.

I merely pointed out that the given comparison was invalid.
