Matthew Prince lied.

Matthew knows it's all bullshit. I can guarantee that he HATES everything that's happening right now, and that he KNOWS dropping Kiwifarms will cause far more problems than it solves.

The problem is that he's not in charge. His company is publicly traded, which means his shareholders are in charge. The board of directors only care about one thing: an increasing profit every year. Anything that potentially threatens that must be dealt with. The problem with shareholders is that they almost always know nothing about how the thing they've invested in works and only think short term. I'm sure Matt spent a great deal of time in meetings trying to explain how this would be a bad idea, but he was ignored and forced to give the bullshit statement he provided.

Nothing else makes sense to me but this explanation. Why take a hardline stance a few days earlier then go back on it entirely? Either he totally abandoned all his principles in a few days, or he was forced.

The lesson here is simple: Be like Valve and stay private, and long term you'll see far more success than you ever would otherwise.

How to say "Our expensive super secure DDoS service can still be compromised by social engineering the low hanging fruit (CEO)" without saying it.

Well I thought it was obvious it was meant as a joke with the /sarcasm bit

It's an unfortunare truth... sarcasm declarations and /sneed tags are gay as hell but reddit and twitter fags are truly incapable of picking up on exaggerations or jokes without them. So they come on there, see some shitposting, and assume it's all literally true and we are all terrorists. Some of them might realize context if we were all typing like fags and tagging all our jokes as jokes, but an equal amount of them just wouldn't care if it's a joke or not if it bruises their egos. Besides, I'm not about to let people like that control how I talk.

Not quite. The actions the people who will never be women are taking will have a galvanizing effect. The more we accept it and move on, the worse it's going to get. All of us should be working together to build infrastructure to replace providers such as Cloudflare.
 
I know it would be expensive, but do you think that with the previous statement of not doing this bs for anything even illegal content, the fact they consider themselves, or feel they should be considered, a utility, and the defaming statement that goes far outside standard operating practices they could be sued? I think maybe there's a chance since Cloudflare made the statement themselves along with Matthew Prince, not just allowing others to say it that you could at least get past 230. Again I know it's really expensive and might be impractical but food for thought I suppose.

The Cloudflare statement from Mathew Prince reads like a desperate act of justification for an unjustified act, it really does feel like someone is holding his feet to the fire.

It's not only unjustified, it's unrealistic.

In the first blog he points out that removing other customers resulted in an uptick of people asking them to take down other things using their own language against them.

In the second blog he's practically begging people not to look at the removal KiwiFarms as a continuation of that precedent.

Tough shit, Matt. You don't get to acknowledge the consequences of caving and then hope reawwy hawd uwu that these suitably-motivated weirdos are gonna stop pushing.

if you want to archive youtube videos, use youtube-dl from their website, youtube-dl.org or if you really need one, google/ask someone for a GUI version, but there's fairly good instructions on how to use it starting here.

remember. archive everything. these degenerate fucks, and keffals in particular, love to delete everything they can.

The whole thing reeks of gayops, the inactive account, only posting a couple of times and one being a fedpost that the user deleted within 14 minutes, just long enough for the troon squad to grab a screencap of, the immediate release of several articles mentioning it within minutes of cloudflare dropping us. It was a set up from the start and you can't convince me otherwise

We don't lose until the threads and archives therein are lost.

I really think there ought to be some archive of all the threads up to this point released to the public. It would be huge yeah, but I'm willing to bet this place has more than a few tech-savvy autists with huge hard drives laying around willing to keep in saved just in case. Worst case scenario, we still have the backups distributed among Kiwis that way.

For that matter, if any of you want to take matters into your own hands, you could go through the trouble of saving your favorite threads manually, or at least the best/most informative posts within them to make sure the subjects of them can never outrun their past behavior on the internet.
