Matthew Prince lied.

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
What bothers me is that it doesn't seem like Cloudflare did any investigation of any sort... I would hope that any major provider, especially one like cloudflare would do an investigation into how substantial a potential threat is, and it worries me that cloudflare doesnt have a department that handles deep dive/root cause investigations for potential issues. I know cloudflare isnt a governing body, but they said it themselves, they handle 20% of the internet traffic, and a bunch of stuff for fortune 500 companies. You'd assume they'd have proper staffing when it came to investigating potential reports like this.
They are only 'Seen to be doing'
They had to respond to the hashtag but they went too far in their actions.

Matthew Prince really fucked up here. REALLY fucked up.
 
The plan was always to cave to the ghoulish freaks, and Cloudflare just desperately wanted to smokescreen it as anything but. "We know this is retarded, and we regret doing it every time we've done it before, but it simply must be done this time!" doesn't fool anyone. Them stating this should not be treated as precedent is laughable, when every public outcry has resulted in them dropping the site in question, against their own stated moral principles. Matthew Prince is a spineless coward, plain and simple, but even worse than that is a knowing hypocrite. He can't even rationalize his own actions as just when he gave a decisive argument against them the day before.

I sincerely hope Russia and China place the screws to them to censor every fucking faggot ADL and civil liberty website to repeatedly drive home to Matthew every day how much of a retard he is.
 
You got in the way of raping kids. They can forgive anything but this.
BUT WE COMMIT THE GRAVEST CRIME OF THEM ALL: DOXXING.

Oh wait that's exactly what Taylor Lorenz does for a living as she doxxed LibsofTikTok. I guess freedom of speech is only supported if you have an autistic billionaire who runs America's biggest Sweatshop footing the bill.
 
They're not going to change their mind. They were probably getting a lot of hate mail so they made up an excuse and banned the site to please the masses.

I remember during gamergate, articles would show a screenshot of one anonymous 4chan post as proof of harassment. If you tell people you're getting harassment on the internet, there's virtually no proof required.
 
Bowing to the tranny mob is never enough. Spread your cheeks for the dilator of Big Trannie Matty- they'll take this 'win' and keep asking for more.
The replies are already full of people telling him that he didn't act quickly enough and demanding that he resign.

They've been making lists on Twitter ever since this started. Mumsnet and Ovarit are two others the troons really want gone. A bunch were also suggesting Substack.

Yes, now they have a successful playbook they can target site that isn't sufficiently sucking girldick. Just plant a "user" somewhere to make a threat against a stunning and brave transwoman, and then go after the site for pre-crime. No matter how obviously fake it all is, they know no one will even question it, let alone investigate.
 
Matthew, if you read this site, or thread, know that you hav just opened up yet another layer of Pandora's Box and have released a plague you have no ability to stop nor comprehent its intentions in full.

You are a fool. Troons will not stop demanding and devouring and you just have doomed your other valuable clients.
if i were a tranny i would screenshot this and post on twitter for kf cringe
 
Still, an absolutely cowardly move on Matthew Prince's part, and I think he could have offered up more resistance than he did. If people like him are actually our best hope in the tech industry, then we're fucked.
Since the IPO, he only owns 10% of the company. Any decisions made by him personally that get enough backlash can effectively be over-ridden "for the benefit of the company".
 
Most of the replies here are very telling as to why cloudflare dropped KF. Their excuse was factually incorrect at best and slanderous at worst, but it was only a matter of time before they caved in to the eunuch mob.
What I think really did it is that the tech industry is controlled by the progressive furry LGBTQ+ twitter pronoun crew, from the bottom-up, and they call the shots now. This applies even more so in the infosec community, which has been thoroughly subverted with this type of bullshit. And that's CloudFlare's primary market.
Change a few words and you've got the same drek as the "muh social construct" crowd keeps barfing down the ether. If you're so convinced the Illuminati is run by trannies then why not prove it? A few journos sucking eunuch holes does not a conspiracy make.
We point and laugh at the crazies, that doesn't require you to become one.
 
Thanks Matthew, this will bankcrupt your company as any and all complainers now JUST has to complain long enough and fake some evidence (which I can do locally no problem) to get you to react.
This will just invite more complainers.

Cloudflare now is pretty much a vestigal company.
 
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.
