What do you mean? I was under the impression that ISIS was extremely censored online, particularly by the companies that signed this. Is that not the case? On the otherhand, I see white supremacist propganda basically daily at this point.


A couple of years ago, Cloudflare refused to remove access to ISIS websites, and said it's not the job of ISPs or themselves to police content.

The policy of one internet infrastructure firm doesn't validate the original claim of ISIS' online activity being 'ignored for well over a decade.'


It does imply they take it less seriously than stormfront, though.


Do you mean Cloudfront? I suppose so, but I don't know enough about the company to reach a firm conclusion.


No, stormfront was a ... racially charged... website that Cloudflare actually did refuse to host.


I meant to say Cloudflare, sorry. I know what Stormfront is.
