You are missing the point. Blocking a CDN providers IP range, means blocking all the websites using the CDN - not just the nazi-poster.com.

Well then perhaps the CDN shouldn’t be protecting those sites?

Different countries have different laws regarding what falls under freedom of speech. The CDN providers say they take a net-neutrality stance. If a court order from a specific country tells them to block certain sites, I'm pretty sure they will comply, but only for clients coming from within that country.

This is quite close to the whole Nazi bar analogy isn't it?

You run a bar. You let anyone in, and some of your customers are a bit edgy.

But one day, Nazis start using your bar for their regular gathering and you don't kick them out.

Congratulations: now you have a Nazi bar.

An obvious problem with this analogy is that the percentage of Cloudflare's traffic which could be Nazis even if they were hosting all the Nazis in the world would still start with a 0 followed by a decimal point.
