Why We Terminated Daily Stormer

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare terminated the account of neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer due to claims that they secretly supported its ideology. The company's decision sparked a debate on content regulation and the role of various organizations in controlling online content. Cloudflare argued that while it doesn't support the Daily Stormer, removing their access could set a dangerous precedent for other companies to follow suit without clear guidelines or due process. They emphasized the importance of transparency and consistency in making decisions about content restrictions.
