Cloudflare said late Sunday it would cease acting as 8chan’s content distribution network and cybersecurity provider, two days afterminutes after apparently publishing an essay railing against immigration from Latin America. The move will probably make it difficult for 8chan to repel crippling distributed denial-of-service attacks until it’s able to find a new provider.
But Cloudfare Chief Executive Matthew Prince said the move by his San Francisco firm was unlikely to keep 8chan offline for long, as the forum site may find another service provider.. “It will almost certainly not even remove 8chan from the Internet.

Prince had largely resisted the idea that his company should be responsible for policing the content of the websites it helps operate, although it, a neo-Nazi website, in 2017 in the face of heavy pressure from activists and the media.
