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.

    They actively protect Nazis and other hate groups.

      Eh. That’s like saying internet routers support Nazis and other hate groups because they route the Nazi’s webservers’ packets.

        That would be passive support. CloudFlare actively supports hate groups

            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…

                Yeah yeah, freeze peach etc.

                I prioritise the safety of my community more than I value trying to conflate free speech with private monopolies acting in their own self interest, especially whilst they’re actively sustaining harm against vulnerable folk.

                    I don’t think you’re confused. I think you have different expectations than me.

                    You value an ideal of free speech that in my mind doesn’t exist, and you think the harm that can be done in trying to attain it is not the biggest issue.

                    I see it that other way around. I think that private monopolies actively protecting platforms used to spread hate is a bigger issue, because it’s causing real world harm right here and now.

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

      Could be a coincidence but I see the word “nazi” mentioned most by blahaj.zone accounts. Is everything okay?

        Things are very much not ok for trans folk. But you know this
