Is declining to participate by re-transmitting such speech even censorship? You can't force a company to take you as a customer, being a shit head isn't a protected class.

Agreed, being dropped from cloud flare isn’t censorship. It’s refusing to actively provide resources to them in their pursuit to harm people.

Also agreed, but I think in some ways there are a few companies that have too much control or influence over the internet as a whole.

CLoudflare makes it nearly impossible to operate without a large network by knownly allowing DDOS-for-Hire services to illegally use its services.

You can always just use Imperva or fastly or any other competitor for ddos mitigation

That's only a few providers and too expensive for anyone but someone using Google ads to fund their operations, because Cloudflare created that cost by its illegal actions.

Regardless of the behavior of the people at kiwifarms, I still find it odd that we have protected classes of people that are more equal than others. Everyone should receive the same rights.
