The problem is in that Cloudflare has already shown through previous actions in dropping 8chan and The Daily Stormer that they are willing to be arbitrators of what is acceptable. So once you're down that slippery slope not removing someone who looks a lot like those two sites translates to tacit approval.

The Daily Stormer claimed that Cloudflare were sympathizers, thereby forcing Cloudflare to terminate their business relationship.
We can make an analogy to defense lawyers. They will represent anyone: murderers, rapists, pop musicians, because they have a belief in that every person deserves representation. But if you start making claims that your defense lawyer is representing you because they agree with you, you’ll quickly be looking for a new lawyer.

Are they still doing it? Or is this something they did once or twice?

Doing it once or twice is enough to forever taint them IMO.

Your call, but I think brands change over time, for better or worse. They're not a strong thing on which to base opinions.
