>Do you really want corporates to decide what political views you should have access to?

No, which is why no one is stopping you from typing in a URL in your browser and visiting a website.

But a computer owner should be able to decide what goes on on their computer (even google or Facebook). The network that connects everyone is what should be regulated and forced to be “free” or “unrestricted”.

How do you feel about the Civil Rights Act?

If the intent is to say a business should not be able ban a protected class per the Civil rights Act, my comment was intended to be interpreted within the context of businesses banning non protected classes.

The discussion would then be about if we legally protect members of tribe with certain gender, skin color, cultural affiliation, etc, why would we not protect a tribe of certain political views, that is an interesting question that I am not sure how to delineate.

Right.. Are cloudflare CDN nodes "the network"? Or a computer?

Because they're "stopping me" already, as of late.

Are the website owners asking Cloudflare to stop you?

Wouldn't be surprised if they mean Cloudflare's decision to stop hosting a harassment and doxxing website (kiwi farms)

That is what I mean. It starts with banning stormfront fascists but ends with banning the president. Keep thinking it's different.

Donald Trump was not banned from Twitter until it was clear he would no longer be president.
