> Cloudflare would have been in a better position to actually change 8chan if they had kept them on and pressured them

I call bullshit.

What plan do you have in mind for _Cloudflare_ to create a culture change on _8chan_?

How does this fit into Cloudflare's strategy and competencies as a network provider?

Are you suggesting they have some obligation to provide service and to try and shape the community, or just that they are compelled to provide a commercial service to people who encourage massacres?

You haven't thought through your own suggestion.

It had already been against Cloudflare's ToS to transmit unlawful content, like child pornography or sex trafficking. These things do not exist on 8chan. I am suggesting that Cloudflare could have clarified or expanded "unlawful content" to include certain types of incitement to violence that are normally considered within 1st amendment bounds.
