What can we do better as network operators about hate sites like 8Chan?
I actually went and looked at 8chan, it would appear to me they have a bunch
of hate filled people there, 10 yr olds who think saying the n-word makes them
cool, and then other bland users.

I applaud cloudflare’s (perhaps slightly late) decision on kicking 8chan
off its platform today after El Paso attack.

I'd be more concerned with the lack of notice given to their customer.  This
was 24 hours notice, and I'd expect at least 30 days under any hosting
contract.  This scares the shit out of me as a customer; could cloudflare
decide to give me no notice and shut my services off?

Well, we don't know what led up to this. Like do we know they weren't on notice?
