Cloudflare Terminates 8Chan

[FSchmertz]

https://blog.cloudflare.com/terminating ... for-8chan/

8chan is among the more than 19 million Internet properties that use Cloudflare's service. We just sent notice that we are terminating 8chan as a customer effective at midnight tonight Pacific Time. The rationale is simple: they have proven themselves to be lawless and that lawlessness has caused multiple tragic deaths. Even if 8chan may not have violated the letter of the law in refusing to moderate their hate-filled community, they have created an environment that revels in violating its spirit.

...

Unfortunately the action we take today won’t fix hate online. It will almost certainly not even remove 8chan from the Internet. But it is the right thing to do. Hate online is a real issue.

Businesses have been imposing their morals on customers since the dawn of time. That slope has BEEN slipping.

Why, yes it is. So, let me see if I have Cloudflare's logic down pat. If this Loon had been unable to post his "manifesto" on 8chan, he would have decided not to go through with it? What?

Well, it's not like he's the only loon on 8chan.

its no different than crack houses. If you find one, you shut it down. They move somewhere else and you shut that down. You never stop. That's just how it works.

Its like smoking in bars, restaurants, airplanes, whatever. 60 years ago people would have laughed at you if you said you were going to stop it. Now its hard to find a place that allows it.

True or any other chan. I liken it to someone decades ago say mailing a "manifesto" to the Washington Post demanding it be put in print or threatening to start killing, I don't know, say Puerto Ricans. Newspaper out of concern publishes it. Despite the demands met, persons goes on a killing spree of Puerto Ricans anyway. So, the Washington Post needs to shut down within 2 days????

So, the New Zealand mass murderer of Muslims posted it live on Facebook. So, Facebook needs be banned? It would never end. And then you have the same tedious reaction from the liberal media for the last 30 years. It was old years ago. Hysteria, wringing hands, fainting beds, demands for actions based on feeling and emotions. And like those, it won't be 3 days before it's not even mentioned again.

Calm down, I'm sure you'll get an email or something telling you where to find 8Chan on the dark web.

I think i visited 8chan once years ago. I wish the Mods for 4chan /b/ would start their pruning. The site is almost unwatchable.

Cloudflare's logic is they don't want to support folks like this, so they're no longer going to do business with them.

And they said that someone else will do business with them who isn't going to care.

I'm currently surfing 16chan and I'm going to work my way up to 128chan.

Any good "manifestos" on those that need to be banned?

There was one from a Texan who believes that women are the ruination of America.

What chan was that on? Have my attention.

Talk about bizarro World, I can cook the best meals you will ever taste. Females coming out of HS don't even know how to boil water.

Everyone knows lawyers are the ruination of America, not women.

i'm going to go out on a limb and think they might find someone that could distinguish the difference in facebook and 8chan. i'm sure that fb already bans/deletes that type of posting.

It didn't take very long for the people in favor of net neutrality to give zero fucks for companies utilizing the exact acts net neutrality was supposed to prohibit. Funny how that works.

Now they've gone so far the opposite direction they cheer on companies who abuse their power by shutting down voices that were at one time deemed important to be able to hear.
