They get shit on a lot here. Why? What do they do and how is that different from other companies that offer similar services?

What I know of them: they offer DDS brute force/spam protection for websites.

      CloudFlare actively supports hate groups

      Source? Given that Cloudflare canceled the accounts of The Daily Stormer, 8chan, and Kiwi Farms, and that they otherwise avoid refusing service to any site that’s legal for them to provide service to in the US (including torrent sites, for example), I’m inclined to disbelieve that claim.

        If you have to be dragged kicking and screaming by public outcry before you cancel Nazis, you support Nazis. But you know what happened as well as I do, so your framing of events that way is interesting…

      How is their “support” more “active” than internet routers; not passive?
