"dissident free speech activist website" is a pretty darn charitable description of 8chan, and certainly not what makes it unique. Are there even a significant number of free-speech absolutists at 8chan, or do they just want their particular kind of chicanery to be unrestricted? By what objective, rational standard should 8chan be completely unregulated while that's not the case for sites dealing (for example) in drugs or sex?

this should be the top comment

> When war mongering governments like US, Russia use Cloudflare for war propaganda websites that enable their wars and killings of lots and lots of people

Do you have a source for that?

I do and many. Here's one example I remember off the top of my head of a Russian war propaganda website hosted by Cloudflare https://rusvesna.su/ and it's much worse than those mass shootings glorifications. Cloudflare definitely received complaints, but no action. Because why would they actually care about people dying if it doesn't serve their political agenda?

Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent and the website is the New York Times among others.

Did I just get downvoted for asking for source? Really? I know political subjects are always controversial on HN but I expected better from here.
