Terminating Service for 8Chan
Blog post from Cloudflare
On August 5, 2019, Matthew Prince of Cloudflare announced that they would be terminating their services for the website 8chan due to its role in inspiring multiple mass shootings. The company had previously faced criticism for providing security services to sites with reprehensible content but drew a line at platforms directly inspiring tragic events and lawlessness by design. Cloudflare's decision to remove 8chan from their network is expected to cause only a brief interruption in the site's operations, as it did when they removed the Daily Stormer two years prior. The company continues to engage with law enforcement and civil society organizations to find solutions for addressing hateful content online and preventing violence.
