Cloudflare to drop 8chan after El Paso shooting

Internet services provider Cloudflare announced on Sunday that it planned to cease doing business with an online forum that a gunman apparently used before killing 20 people in El Paso, Texas, the company said.

Cloudflare’s CEO, Matthew Prince, wrote in a blog post that his company was dropping 8chan after gunmen in Christchurch, New Zealand, and Poway, California, also used the site.

The anonymous forum, which the Anti-Defamation League has tied to the rise of online extremism, had shown itself to be “lawless,” Prince said. "That lawlessness has caused multiple tragic deaths. Even if 8chan may not have violated the letter of the law in refusing to moderate their hate-filled community, they have created an environment that revels in violating its spirit.”

God I hope the next one posts to Facebook and google+ so we can make the government shut them down.

The shooter did NOT post to 8chan, someone else copied and pasted it, his manifesto was originally posted on INSTAGRAM, but of course Instagram will not be shut down bcuz it supports the liberal rhetoric, sad because 8chan is a very informative research for yourself site that reveals the NWO’s own manipulative tactics and purpose, it gives truths that NO MSM on air will talk about. We even know what 4am talking points are distributed to the MSM before they do!
