Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince did make one exception: During the 2017 Charlottesville riots, the Daily Stormer was ditched after it claimed Cloudflare secretly shared its extreme, neo-Nazi ideology.
8chan will not be getting the boot, even though today it’s easy to find users promoting violence and links to possible child-exploitation material. Alissa Starzak, Cloudflare’s head of policy, defended the services' actions, saying that that taking away support for 8chan wouldn’t remove it from the internet. Just like getting rid of a terrorist’s electricity supply or preventing them from buying groceries, cutting off Cloudflare would do little to deal with the problem, Starzak told Forbes.
Website moderators are the ones who are there to remove content, not Cloudflare, she added. “We're the Fedex of the internet, passing messages on, not looking inside the boxes,” she explained.
If Clouflare did pull the plug, it’d be possible to see who the host of the website was. From there it’d be easier for governments to request the host pull the site. It’d also be easier for anyone willing to break the law and carry out a DDoS attack to knock the forum offline.
Forbes attempted to contact the founder of 8chan and admins for the site, but received no response.
Solving a problem like 8chan
What to do about 8chan then? Patrick Pugh is physical security analyst at Flashpoint, which analyses sites like 8chan where extremist material appears. Freedom of speech laws prevent government intervention, but easily accessible platforms aren’t as restricted, Pugh says. They can therefore help drive extremists underground by removing their content and depriving them of technologically reliable hosting platforms.
“While this may make it harder for investigators to discover, it will also make it harder for folks susceptible to radicalization to find,” Pugh told Forbes. “Discussion of ‘traitors,’ ‘invaders,’ and needing to do something ‘in real life,’ or ‘IRL,’ are the watchwords for investigators trying to find a particular needle, not in a haystack, but in a stack of needles," he added.
As for what to do about fringe sites promoting extremist views, Cloudflare’s Starzak didn’t have the answers. What’s required, she added, was a big public policy push with players from among national governments and private companies allowing such sites to exist.
No one has yet come up with a suitable answer to the intractable question: How do you clean the internet of dangerous words that encourage evil deeds?
