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?

to me thats almost the exception that proves the rule.

if someone tells me they have a 100% SLA I write them off as a liar, but tell me you have a 99.995% SLA and have only ever had this one exception and here's why, that builds much more trust with me.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 conte…

Ah yes. There’s nothing to censor if you keep your mouth shut ;)

There's a difference between saying "[highly controversial statement]. We know company X will not censor us." and "[highly controversial statement]. We know company X will not censor us because the people at company X are really on our side!"

There's a difference between supporting someone's free speech in general and whether you want to continue with them in a business relationship because they are abusing you specifically.

I may support my friend's right to free speech in general, but if they are at my house and start bad-mouthing myself and my family, I'll ask them to leave. They can still say what they want (if not libel/slander), but they don't need to do it in my house. They can go say it elsewhere.

Do Cloudflare websites work from TOR then?

Up to the website operator. Cloudflare actually went out of their way to make it easy to whitelist Tor IPs that would generally get automatictly blacklisted for abuse.

They also went out of their way to automatically treat them as more questionable by default. Unless the website operator explicitly whitelists tor, tor users are given a worse experience.

EDIT: Maybe not anymore? See replies
