The Daily Stormer Are AssholesInternet companies typically take a hands off approach to offensive content on their networks, erring on the side of maintaining an open internet. But this approach sometimes ends in PR disaster. For Twitter, the debate has bubbled up in the form of rampant harassment, and the company has responded by slowly, grudgingly blocking high profile harassers from its platform. For You. Tube, the debate has focused on ISIS propaganda and other extremist videos. After a violent weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia that ended with a protester being killed, that fight has focused on Go. Daddy, Cloudflare, and other companies that provide web hosting and DDo. S protection for neo Nazi websites like The Daily Stormer. Today, Cloudflare reversed its long held policy to remain content neutral and booted The Daily Stormer out from behind its DDo. S protection service. Download Music United States Of Pop 2013 Mp3. This was my decision. This is not Cloudflares general policy now, going forward, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince told Gizmodo. I think we have to have a conversation over what part of the infrastructure stack is right to police content. Prince explained in an internal email to staffers that he doesnt think CEOs of internet companies should be in the position of policing content on their networkshe told Gizmodo he thinks thats a job that should ultimately be left up to law enforcement if the content violates the lawbut felt pushed to act because the operators of the Daily Stormer are assholes. I realized there was no way we were going to have that conversation with people calling us Nazis, Prince said. The Daily Stormer site was bragging on their bulletin boards about how Cloudflare was one of them and that is the opposite of everything we believe. That was the tipping point for me. But leaving these decisions to CEOs like himself is exactly what Prince doesnt wantand thats why Cloudflare isnt changing its content neutral policy going forward. Instead, Prince wants to spark a conversation about how tech should respond to abhorrent content, and whether content should be policed by registrars, browsers, or social networks. We need to have a discussion around this, with clear rules and clear frameworks. My whims and those of Jeff Bezos and Larry Page and Satya Nadella and Mark Zuckerberg, that shouldnt be what determines what should be online, he said. I think the people who run The Daily Stormer are abhorrent. But again I dont think my political decisions should determine who should and shouldnt be on the internet. Heres the email Prince sent to staffers today explaining his decision Team Earlier today Cloudflare terminated the account of the Daily Stormer. Weve stopped proxying their traffic and stopped answering DNS requests for their sites. Weve taken measures to ensure that they cannot sign up for Cloudflares services again. This was my decision. Our terms of service reserve the right for us to terminate users of our network at our sole discretion. My rationale for making this decision was simple the people behind the Daily Stormer are assholes and Id had enough. Let me be clear this was an arbitrary decision. It was different than what Id talked talked with our senior team about yesterday. I woke up this morning in a bad mood and decided to kick them off the Internet. I called our legal team and told them what we were going to do. I called our Trust Safety team and had them stop the service. It was a decision I could make because Im the CEO of a major Internet infrastructure company. Having made that decision we now need to talk about why it is so dangerous. Ill be posting something on our blog later today. Literally, I woke up in a bad mood and decided someone shouldnt be allowed on the Internet. No one should have that power. Cloudflare employees name redacted asked after I told him what we were going to do Is this the day the Internet dies He was half joking, but I actually think its an important question. Its important that what we did today not set a precedent. The right answer is for us to be consistently content neutral. But we need to have a conversation about who and how the content online is controlled. We couldnt have that conversation while the Daily Stormer site was using us. Now, hopefully, we can. Ill be publishing a blog post with all our thoughts on this issue in a few hours. Until then, Id ask that you not talk about this externally. Matthew Prince. Co founder CEOUpdate 81. ET Prince published a blog post on Cloudflares site discussing the reasons behind his decision. Removing Cloudflares protection opens sites up to vigilante DDo. S attacks, Prince explained. The size and scale of the attacks that can now easily be launched online make it such that if you dont have a network like Cloudflare in front of your content, and you upset anyone, you will be knocked offline, he wrote. But having the mechanism of content control be vigilante hackers launching DDo. S attacks subverts any rational concept of justice.
