   @ryo @gnusocialjp @xianc78 on a more contextual note at why this is blowing up the way it is from the free speech side, here's an article by a man convicted of running the world's largest DDoS empire and telling the world that cloudflare was his best friend. He then ends the post by saying that they might as well also stop protecting booters/DDoS for hire botnets if they really give a shit about making the internet better.

   An old Krebs on security article from 2015 when the DDoS epidemic was really in full swing, name-dropping cloudflares business model.
