Ars Technica had a good article on Cloudflare pulling their DDoS protection, so 8chan switched to the same service as Daily Stormer, and now that mitigation service and both sites are down.
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/08/8chan-briefly-got-back-online-wi th-same-cdn-used-by-neo-nazi-daily-stormer/ And Vox had a good explainer on 8chan: https://www.vox.com/recode/2019/5/3/18527214/8chan-walmart-el-paso-shooting- cloudflare-white-nationalism Interesting that even the guy who originally founded 8chan says it should be taken down. Oh, and I'm posting this as an Internet issue. Not a political issue. I assume both red and blue, left and right, are for free speech and against mass killings. But what do you do when anonymous free speech becomes so lawless it crosses a line. I guess decline to provide protection from another form of anonymous free speech . DDoS attacks. But it's a tough issue. Even Twitter and Facebook and Reddit and Youtube get a lot of criticism for the stuff they allow on their sites or are unsuccessful at combatting. If these guys don't get their shit together, they're going to ruin it for everyone.
