Seems to me like a lot of the arguments against why this shouldn't happen or isn't effective basically amount to some sort of whatabouttery. Well done Cloudflare, I hope their next host takes the same attitude or can be induced to.

Don't be fooled. It's not a virtuous move. It's a business decision.

If they wanted to be virtuous, they'd start working with groups to solve the problem--counteracting radicalization.

I'm aware of that but nonetheless believe it's a step in the right direction and that they should be congratulated. I don't think this means anyone should give them an easier time as a result.

Countering radicalisation involves the use of both carrot and stick where services like Cloudflare and others are involved.

How? It does nothing to solve the problem. It simply kicks the can down the road.
