Where did Cloudflare give this evidence? Are you the administrator of Kiwifarms? They certainly haven't shared this in public.

You're right, they actually gave no evidence, but if these are not the events they are referencing in their blog post (the things that the #DropKiwiFarms has been hyping up), then what is?

Wait, why should Cloudflare give any evidence?

Null/Josh Moon shared this, so presumably that's where the parent commenter heard it.

A strange move to attribute KF claims to CF.

My understanding is CF provided this information privately to Null/Josh Moon and then Null/Josh Moon decided to be public with it.

I may be wrong.

(I don't know if I believe Null, personally, but both he and keffals are about as reliable narrators as Humbert Humbert.)

That's not what Null claims, and in any case it sounds extremely unlikely that Cloudflare would attempt to justify their decision in such detail.

What is he saying now?

I agree it's unlikely CF would give a justification. (Hence why I said I don't necessarily believe Null.)
