Yes -- apparently they dropped every zone from their account, and ended rebill, so this was an administrative action.

Technically the Cloudflare TOS is written in the normal weasely way: https://www.cloudflare.com/terms/ TERMINATION "(j) any use of the Service deemed at Cloudflare’s sole discretion to be prohibited" -- so it's within their TOS rights.

This needs to be higher, if what you're saying is correct, CloudFlare didn't drop them because of who they are.

Do you have a source?

You misunderstand. It was that Cloudflare administratively closed the account, rather than that the account-holder or a third party did it.

Cloudflare also kicks people off when they get ddos'd for too long. Two days ago whe GoDady booted them, and Jester was running campaign against Daily Stormer, CloudFlares statement was that they wont bot them based on brigading flagging.

I stand corrected:

A Cloudflare executed says they ditched us because "email on this is massive." So much for an anti-DDoS company. The only traffic you have to send them just has to be in the form of valid SMTP, and they'll kill your site.
