Yeah regardless of your stance on KF, you have to support cloudflare as an independent business to decide who they want as a customer. KF has many other options to serve their site. Itβs really their own fault for using a product like Cloudflare that can be easily coerced into dropping a client through a Twitter mob.

It's fine for a business to do anything but it's not fine for the business to lie and say they are something they are not.
The question therefore becomes at root, are they lying? Is the company actually impartial infrastructure, or are they dishonest.
The past has shown that they are a little unstable in their impartiality.
Personally I'd like to see them making much more decisions to clean up the net but I'd need to see them being honest about it.
This is a very good takeaway, as it is a complex problem. But I think in the interim, it's perfectly fine for private companies with no legal obligation to keep sites like these operating to just choose not to do business with them.
