Cloudflare Stops Supporting Neo-Nazi Site The Daily Stormer (arstechnica.com)
Timothy B. Lee reports via Ars Technica: All week, the infamous hate site Daily Stormer has been battling to stay online in the face of a concerted social media campaign to shut it down. The site lost its "dailystormer.com" domain on Monday after first GoDaddy and then Google Domains blacklisted it from their domain registration services. The site re-appeared online on Wednesday morning at a new domain name, dailystormer.ru. But within hours, the site had gone offline again after it was dropped by Cloudflare, an intermediary that defends customers against denial-of-service attacks. Daily Stormer's Andrew Anglin reported Cloudflare's decision to drop the site in a post on the social media site Gab. His post was first spotted by journalist Matthew Sheffield.
The big American service providers on the Internet are sending a clear message. Extremism is ok as long as it's "progressive". Through their actions they are complicit of the narrative shaping conducted by mainstream media and ideological proponents of the extreme left. We are witnessing the collapse of free speech in Western society, in favor of large scale corporate manipulation.
"Their is no censorship here."
Oh, bullshit. Fuck you are your redefinition of terms to fit your worldview. This is definitely censorship - they're deliberately interfering with legal speech because of the content. Whether you agree or disagree with that speech doesn't make a difference, it's still censorship.

oh, quit it. we all know what censorship DOES and what its INTENT is.
fuck what the 'dictionary definition' is.
the gist is: the powerful have the ability to silence those that they don't agree with.
in modern amerika, there is no difference (or damned little) between the KIND and AMOUNT of power held by government and big corps.
as long as its a big guy using his strength to silence a little guy, its censorship. the 'old' def is no longer accurate and to quote it is a misguided way to deflect what's going on.
corps are proxies for government. anytime a government does not want to get caught doing something it is not 'supposed' to be doing, it hires a corp. they do their dirty work.
this is why your def is no longer valid. corps are gov, by proxy. and the corps own all the power (first they get the sugar, then they get the power, THEN they get the women!)
