I read the beginning as "the commercial threat to Cloudflare from continuing to host Kiwifarms."
That said, they should've done it a while ago.

How is hosting == CDN?

Kiwi Farms is internet trolls taken to extreme. The harassment doesn’t stay in the virtual world. https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/15657972205318144...

That is not how it works both technically and legally. Providing a reverse proxy is not the same as hosting the content.

#17>Kiwifarms itself will most likely find other infrastructure that allows them to come back online, as the Daily Stormer and 8chan did themselves after we terminated them. And, even if they don't, the individuals that used the site to increasingly terrorize will feel even more isolated and attacked and may lash out further. There is real risk that by taking this action today we may have further heightened the emergency.
Yeah no shit, of course this is going to happen. It's clearly just a way to save face from Cloudflare - though they definitely needed to do it as this problem was never going to go away for them if they didn't. The entire point of the internet is to be uncensorable, and that's not going to change with them dropping KiwiFarms. As terrible of a website as it is, it's just going to come back up with a provider that has even lower moral standards than Cloudflare.
