Comment on Microsoft takes down No-IP.com domainsparent

Booter sites, you may argue, are different. But the key question is where do you draw the line. If a site says you can push a button and launch an attack should we take that down? What about one that has a phone number you can call? Or gives you instructions on launching the attack yourself? CloudFlare is many things, but one thing we are not is the Internet cops.

That is incredibly disingenuous. It's simple: if you knowingly facilitate an illegal service on your site, your service gets terminated. Every other reputable CDN and hosting provider can figure this out but somehow you can't? Give me a break.

He appears to choose to let the decision as to whether they 'knowingly facilitate an illegal service' be taken by law enforcement rather than by Cloudflare.

So I don't see anything disingenuous whether you disagree or not.
