Just curious, do you have any details on the "massive gloating power trip" bit?

As I remember it, right before their IPO the New Zealand mosque shooting happened, and then a day or two after the Walmart copycat shooting, and the media was claiming it was all planned and broadcast on 8chan and Cloudflare (conveniently leaving Facebook out of it).

From what I've seen that Matthew Prince guy has talked a big game on free-speech, and has been very apologetic and hand-wringey these two times that they've caved to public pressure.

I'm a free speech absolutist, but these circumstances shift it from outrageous to unfortunately more understandable in my mind.

Selfishly, I'm not trying to host anything radioactive, just mildly controversial (although it could piss-off powerful people if it takes off) so I'm less concerned about Cloudflare, but the "massive gloating power trip" thing you mentioned has got me worried.

Thanks.
