Cloudflare, a San Francisco-based company that was providing internet infrastructure services to 8chan and helping keep the site online, has announced it will stop providing support in the wake of Saturday's mass shooting in El Paso, Texas

"8chan is among the more than 19 million Internet properties that use Cloudflare's service. We just sent notice that we are terminating 8chan as a customer effective at midnight tonight Pacific Time. The rationale is simple: they have proven themselves to be lawless and that lawlessness has caused multiple tragic deaths.

El Paso mass shooting is at least the third atrocity linked to 8chan this year He said Cloudflare would comply with a request relating to 8chan if such a request were made, but the company would"want to see something from law enforcement or a regulator agency or a court that says, 'We have made this decision after going through due process.

Thank you Cloudflare

Knowing what this group was about why didn’t you report them to the police

CNN is a hate for profit machine that give a megaphone for hate speech and conspiracy theories!! It’s supports antifa that spreads physical violence to injure, abuse, damage or destroy!!!

Shut them ALL down, otherwise you are Complicit!!!

Words above the picture and below the picture contradict each other. Which is it?

They've reversed course, for the moment.

'MONKEYS WITH GUNS' KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE, WILL BE CUT IN HALF, IF ANY LAW MAKERS DO CARE ABOUT MASS SHOOTINGS, & REALLY WANT TO NEARLY STOP A 'MONKEY WITH GUNS', YOU STOP COURT GAMES WITH NOTORIETY & 'DRAG THESE MONKEYS DIRECTLY TO THEIR DEATH PENALTY, RIGHT FROM THEIR SCENE'!

Hmmmm ... slippery slope

Please look at Facebook hatred and Trump tweets too. Put and end to Trump hate filled rallies.

Pls... now we gonna blame a service 😧 wtf.

The problem isn't the platform, the problem is untreated crazy people roaming free

and The one hosting H8 in ALT sections? Pushing serbian ideals of racism?

why do u have 2 wait until 3 mass shootings before taking the necessary actions? medicine after death.

I recall other nutjobs posting their murderous plans on twitter and FB yet they weren't taken down. I remember one in particular where he live streamed his killing spree on FB. I recall another posting pics of his girlfriend after he killed her.

Why must we do your job CNN? Traitors!

This is good news. We can't allow these mongrels (white supremecist) to have a public forum to speak

So the shooters didn't have facebooks? Or twitters? Or instagrams? Or snapchats? (Yes, I realize this is just another scapegoat for society's real problems. But by all means, take down dem nazzi websaits!)

Took them long enough

Too little, too late!

They do not provide internet infrastructure services, they provide DDoS services. (So 8chan still has internet) Get your story straight folks.

El Paso shooting :8 chan loses cloudflare protection after Walmart shooting.

8chan is a megaphone for gunmen . ' Shut the site down', says its creator.

Cloudflare will stop service to 8chan ,,which CEO Matthew Prince describes as a ' cesspool of hate'

The Trump teams use of imagery from 8chan will mean that the wretched and scurrilous will continue with their hate unabated.

Cool. You Know what's also linked to mass shootings? Guns.

They only stopped providing services because of pressure and outraged from the public. They didn't do it for the greater good.

Social networking is definitely a scary new war that the world is fighting. It takes a lie to create hate and target a race

Add all the social media platforms as well

Headline doesn’t match the tweet

KEK You don't think there was a plan B?

It's funny that all the fascist leftist idiots think a website makes people go on shooting sprees. Yes, ban 4/8 Chan, that'll stop them, just like it stopped it after banning real assault rifles. (It didn't)

Thank you Cloudflare eastdakota

Yes,.....whatever efforts/supports to the authorities against this evil deed should be done before such is spreading! This is not simple issue, especially to those responsible for the citizens! May God help you!!!

CNN , FAKE NEWS

Breivik liked to play Call of Duty. Christchurch shooter used Facebook. In 2016 Columbus OH, 2 ppl arrested after threatening to shoot people using Periscope. And then there's the people who blamed Rammstein/Marilyn Manson for shootings. etc etc etc.

This online radical school is still operating ? If it was Iraq it would have Been destroyed 2 days ago

About time. Take away their hate microphone.

I'm curious how many deaths can be linked to usage of Facebook and Twitter. or phpBB, myBB, Vbulletin etc etc etc.

Why doesn't the Fed Gov't have 100 experts working on this one issue? Trump could do an executive order, but won't because it will stop the hate speech of his White Supremacy supporters.

Well, that's mighty white of him.

Meet Frederick Brennan,the creator and mastermind of 8Chan. Doesn't look like much huh. But then,what does hate look like? Some need look no further than their own mirrors.

So when they start posting manifestos on facebook, is facebook going to be banned from the internet too?

He was also on Twitter, so better ban Twitter as well hey?

Why not after the first?

It only took 3 mass shootings

Twitter NEEDS TO STOP BROADCASTING TRUMP! He is the problem!!!

Oh, how nice of them.

It took infinitechan 3 mass shootings to finally pull the plug bec they could no longer avoid the fact they enabled them. How many more massacres b4 CNN MSNBC AP Reuters politico bpolitics axios realize they also enable them by regularly airing realDonaldTrump racism?

The Leftist Ohio Whacko was going to vote for Elizebeth Warren and was a leftist on Twitter who was a support of antifa. Should we ban and deplatform Twitter as well? Noooo that cant happen! Hypocrites all of you!

Thank you!! Now please send a list of all those racist cowards to the FBI.

Finally.

Isn't this like refusing to bake a cake?

Which means no more to Antifa affiliates. The truth comes out.

At least someone is doing something to help prevent senseless death like this, since our government is fine with just letting innocent people die

Why didn’t they do it under Obama. Lord knows there were at least 12 mass shootings on his watch. Anyone blame him?

What difference will it make ? They will probably be back in just a few hours if not days

Censorship is fear

Lol most of them had Twitter as well. Should we shut that down too?

So, when will Facebook and Twitter be shut down? The shooters were using these platforms too, i guess we need to shut it all down. CLOSE THE FUCKING INTERNET

Good. But be prepared for 12chan to spring up in it's wake. Once it (or something like it does), shut it down!

Thank you!

It's not phrased 100% correctly. Yes, Cloudflare provides *some* infrastructure (proxy + DDoS protection) but not all. The wording makes it appear as 8chan are losing their whole Internet hosting infrastructure, which is not the case.

'Linked to three mass shootings'? So they provided money, guns, instructions? OR the crazy people just wrote something on the website? 🤔🤔🤔

You keep getting hit in the head with a baseball..... you eventually learn to duck.

Bigger [slam-dunk] charges coming? Public understanding of events just around the corner. Q

2 little 2 late!

Why were they doing it in the first place? OMG! 😡

It takes an open mind to accept that, in more basic forms, 'generated' means of communication, imagery, etc., indeed have arisen through the ages. But they ultimately would tend to sputter early on for basically the same reason -- they aren't as direct as the written word.

Oh boy, Trumpturds are gonna explode over this!

It's too bad they had to be publicly shamed before doing the right thing.

It is actually better to have those miscreants and their statements concentrated where we can surveil them. Yes, the risk is they embolden each other and all. If investigators were more proactive, it would be a tool to stop them from massacring. As it stands, they are reactive.

a welcome move.

The internet isn't the problem. I hate these nutjobs too but if it's not 8chan it'll be something else. The problem is the guns.

Facebook helps ANTIFA communicate. Theh are a terrorist group. Facebook needs to shutdown too

What about Teen Vogue and Buzzfeed? A principle is a principle, right?

Great first step into getting rid of all those nerds who are killing our loved ones!

Scott Baio just had a nervous breakdown.

El Paso Murder Spree Renews Spotlight on 8chan Online ForumThe suspect in the Walmart rampage in El Paso allegedly posted a hate-filled manifesto on 8chan, the same fringe online message board used this year by the suspect in the New Zealand mosque massacre. As a Kiwi I'd just like to show our support for y'all at this terrible time 🖤❤️ KiaKaha ,StayStrong ❤️🖤 Trump is doing so much winning. You elected a Nazi as president, did you really expect anything else? He is calling for attacks on immigrant, dark ones. Good luck, but you deserve every dead child you get. Cloudflare, you can fix this. Yet you refuse to. DO SOMETHING or your name will forever be associated with 8chan and everything that comes along with it.
