Cloudflare has lost nearly $3 billion in market cap in the last week since Clara's campaign to #DropKiwifarms started. Hate doesn't sell and large corporate customers are beginning to question they relationship with cloudflare and leave. Image
For the "market is all down" crowd, cloudflare has done far worse that the nasdaq index in the same time frame despite cloudflare posting a solid 2nd quarter. Image
Nearly 5% loss this morning. Their blog update yesterday was an an unmitigated disaster. Image

The idea that CDNs need to host nazi content to protect unknown minority groups in the future from authoritarian regimes is sociopathic and wrong. Those regimes use propaganda and social networks to engage in ethnic cleansing, not the deplatforming of websites or specific users.
The genocide against the Rohingya is a perfect example. Myanmar didn't need to ask CDNs to deplatform the Rohingya. They used propaganda, dehumanizing rhetoric, and disinformation to achieve their goals of ethnic cleansing. No amount of speech could prevent that.
Creating equivalence between the speech of marginalized groups and the hate movements seeking to eliminate them is morally repugnant and downright wrong. It completely ignores the mechanisms of power that enables the persecution of minority groups.

Heard from a former Cloudflare employee that the customer that they did an "offset" donation to LGBTQ orgs for was "GODHATESFAGS[.]COM" which is run by the Westboro Baptist Church. They continue to support this site. They had no ERG in June 2017. They lied in their blog. Screenshot of domain registration info for "godhatesf*gScreenshot:  Heading: Introducing Proudflare, Cloudflare's L
Additionally, the WBC was a customer with Cloudflare long before 2017 and they were provided service as far back as 2014. The ERG was not formed until 2018. Cloudflare management bragged about this "offset" donation all the time.
It's absolutely asinine to believe that donating a few thousand dollars to LGBTQ orgs undoes the damage that supporting hate causes. It's pinkwashing in it's most vile form. It's modern day indulgences by corporations to wash away the guilt of their actions.

Cloudflare wants dead trans people. This is their legacy by working with Kiwi Farms. They are knowingly complicit in the cyberstalking, harassment, and threatening of trans people to the point of suicide. They offer the protections that enable this to happen. Image
Cloudflare isn't a fire dept preventing the fires in the homes of people, they are the paid bodyguard of criminal enterprises protecting them from any consequences for their actions. The deflection to legislation and legal orders is absolute bullshit. Image
How is any trans person who finds themselves subjected to this kind of cyberstalking and harassment, to the point of fleeing a country supposed to pass federal legislation? They deflect once again to "protecting vulnerable groups." This is sociopathic.

This is entirely on Libs of Tiktok for inciting this and on Twitter for allowing accounts like this to do so.
For weeks, Chaya Raichik, Chris Elston, Matt Walsh, Seth Dillon, and Christina Buttons have been inciting this violence with incendiary language while ignoring the violent threats their followers made. They wanted this to happen and they will run like cowards from the blame.
This isn't even the first time Chaya Raichik has incited bomb threats against a target of her tweets. In May, an entire town in Kiel, Wisconsin was besieged in bomb threats.

Libs of Tiktok needs Twitter to meaningfully operate. Over the life of her website, it's had less than 1M visits. My profile on Twitter alone has had over 5M visits just this month. Twitter is ground zero for her hate campaign.

🧵A thread: Screenshot of Twitter analytics showing 5.35M profile visits
LoTT's Facebook page has 46k followers on a dying platform. Her most succesful page outside of Twitter is Instagram, which has 245K followers. However, her hate content doesn't lend itself as well to Instagram and posts there are usually just duplicates of her tweets.
LoTT has accounts on far right Twitter clones but those sites are irrelevant. Twitter is her golden goose that singularly drives traffic to her substack and her merch. She needs it to monetize her hate and create a return on investment for Seth Dillon.

The fascists in Texas threatening a drag brunch were sorely mistaken thinking that queer people don't exercise their 2nd amendment rights. Pictured below, members of the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club providing armed community defense for the drag brunch.
This shouldn't be necessary but when Proud Boys and far right nazi groups issue death threats against queer community events, the queer community will defend themselves legally using their constitutional right to carry in Texas.
If you're wondering why they need to be armed in the first place. Here's a fash showing up to protest the drag brunch.
