If vanwatech (8kun's owner company, I think) can make their own hosting and resiliency platform with a box of scraps after being dumped by cloudflare, I'm sure Kiwifarms can do the same. I actually felt Kiwifarms is long overdue for getting a light shined on it, but I'm not going to pretend that booting it off Cloudflare is going to solve anything. It seems to me that Cloudflare is providing them a common, readily available service that can and has been done in-house, so I don't get the goal here. You won't boot them off the internet by chasing them from every provider, because they'll find one who doesn't care, or do it themselves. Given it's an unremarkable service, providers should therefore take their money, or, better yet, screw them on price and charge them extra for the hassle of being a risky customer.
As an aside, I am annoyed that Kiwifarms has quietly existed all this time and this is the best effort that people can come up with to try and affect it, and this late. It honestly should have been shut down a long time ago. Unlike _chans, reddit, somethingawful, etc, I'm not sure even a single good thing has come out of that place.

Yeah, Gab is also using Cloudflare and it seems that as long as Gab takes down illegal content (CP, copyright infringement, etc) Cloudflare won't do anything.
I expect Kiwifarms to also do the same and Cloudflare will not do anything else.
Wonder if the creators of this site have the courage or guts to run to ICANN or RIPE just like what the Ukrainian government did to request the immediate removal of Cloudflare from the internet all because Cloudflare won't do anything and is still serving Russian IPs.
I'll tell you this. Nothing is going to happen with either ICANN, RIPE or Cloudflare. You can scream, complain, criticise, throw a tantrum, etc but they won't be booted off or shutdown.
Cloudflare claim to be a neutral web infrastructure company; a dumb pipe. They provide service to a website run by a Nazi. The website encourages stochastic terrorism behind a paper thin veneer of "please don't do this" (wink wink) caveats.
After a reasonably high profile person was doxed and had armed police pointing guns at her, there's been a campaign to get cloudlfare to follow their own ToS and remove services for this website.
Cloudflare won't, because they claim to be nothing more than a dumb pipe. Those claims are obviously bogus - try running a sex worker site and using cloudflare's services and see how long the site lasts.
The cancel mob has set its sights on a website that's hosted behind CloudFlare. They're really upset that CloudFlare is taking a stand against censorship and refusing to give into their demands to take it off the Internet.

Not going to happen.
