This is awesome to hear, and for all of the criticism Cloudflare has gotten in the past, they have spoken loudly against censorship, not just for people they like, but those they dislike as well. I'd much rather point my DNS at them than Google, an ad company where tracking is the whole business model.

Really? Didn't the CEO kick stormfront off Cloudflare because they thought they were assholes?

They do censorship if they like to do it.

Do Cloudflare websites work from TOR then?

On the other hand they've also censored some of their users without being legally obliged to do so on a couple occasions. They don't have a clean track record. I'd rather point my DNS settings at my own server than anyone elses.

Specifically, the Cloudflare CEO kicked the Daily Stormer off of Cloudflare because the Daily Stormer had been suggesting that Cloudflare secretly supported them/their politics: https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-terminated-daily-stormer/

Had the Daily Stormer folks kept their mouths shut, they probably would've been fine.

And then Cloudflare continues on to describe why they don't think companies should censor content, whereas Google has numerous blogs and entire technologies revolving around how to censor content even more than they do now.

Like when the CEO randomly feels like it because he woke up being annoyed. But otherwise, totally not.
