Matthew Prince lied.

They want to go after archives now. How vulnerable they are? What are the alternatives?

I said this in the telegram chat, but it does need repeating, If cloudflare actually does this, it sets a precedent whereby any small business in the world can be effectively destroyed anonymously by a disgruntled group of mildly tech literate arseholes; effectively without recourse. He mentioned 'threat to human life' in the absurd whinge post he did, but the reality is that a threat to your livelihood is also a threat to your life; but merely one by inches rather than miles. In the modern world, access to the internet is defacto access to the financial system, and without that access you cannot function in a professional manner. This is - and forgive whatever hyperbole you might find in this statement - actual economic terrorism. It is an attack on the livelihood of an individual to invoke fear in order to cause a change in action.

Cloudflare is complicit in enabling this; and if they keep it going will be effectively circling the wagons around large corporate interests like Facebook and Amazon that are inured against attacks like these; and leaving the smaller organisations and individuals who are reliant on 3rd party services to exist, to be attacked by what are effectively gaggles of mentally ill perverts. Perverts whose actions are so antithetical to what 99% of the planet sees as good; that the second any sliver of sunlight is shone on them, they shrivel up and wither away because of how vile they actually are.
 
This is probably the biggest bullshit I've seen in some time. Literally 180 degrees just after a few days.
Doesnt this constitute unlawful refusal of service and/or defamation? As in- they used an insulting reason, based on nothing, to refuse a service. It's like if you walked in the shop and the manager shouted "HEY I KNOW YOU, YOU ARE THAT SERIAL PEDO RAPIST, GET OUT OF HERE". While you are not, in fact, a pedo rapist.
 
So now what? What's great leaders next move?
Read nigger, READ.

I'll have more to say later. I've not yet moved my domains from Cloudflare, because a part of me thinks that Matthew will recognize this as an err in judgement. The decision is simply too asinine for me to accept as reality.
 
I think I've taken for granted the value Kiwi Farms is on the lowercase 'i' internet. It's one of the few large sites with a significant userbase where you don't have to follow corporate HR guidelines of what you are and aren't allowed to say. You aren't a slave to some algorithm. Organic discussion occurs with no holds barred. I'll drop some XMR for our dear leader in this trying time.
 
Can cloudflare seize the .net domain?
In theory? Yes, they are the registrar and current DNS host of the domain, they have access to do whatever they want with it. In practice though, the domain name is literally by law property of Josh (or probably more specifically Lolcow LLC) and I've never heard of a .com/.net/.org being seized without a court order. While they have the theoretical capability of hijacking the domain, it would probably be illegal to do so in a pretty clear-cut way.
 
I just don't understand why one bad egg forces Cloudflare to drop service, especially when the post had already been removed by mods. You wouldn't close an elementary school classroom because one kid failed standardized testing. Hell, Twitter is still running at full steam and a good portion of the shit I've seen there is absolute garbage. God forbid the Kiwi family has a single place to express our thoughts and feelings, must mean the world wants us to post them more openly in other platforms.
 
Thank you for all you do null.

Frens, please consider supporting the farms monetarily if you don't already

Matthew from cloudflare, you are a coward, and I hope you feel ashamed of yourself for this knee-jerk juvenile move. Keffals is not going to have sex with you
