Cloudflare terminates services for 8Chan

Here's a bunch of random groups... anyone could make lists on all sorts of activism sectors around the world, any subject, from any side... all of them claiming free speech, that they're exclusively right, and at times basically wishing to, and doing, censor and murder of the other... https://www.stormfront.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormfront_(website) http://www.nsm88.org/ http://www.nsm88records.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Stormer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_white_nationalist_organizations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2019/03/01/how-black-man-outsmarted… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_pride https://naacp.org/ https://usa.gov/ https://cia.gov/ http://eng.mod.gov.cn/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II2ZbypmVIE hong kong resistance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States) https://phillyantifa.org/ http://redneckrevolt.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_bloc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men's_rights_movement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion https://www.noi.org/ https://www.answering-islam.org/ http://www.moqawama.org/ https://hamas.ps/ https://alqassam.ps/ http://www.ikhwanonline.com/ https://thereligionofpeace.com/ http://www.sistani.org/ http://www.sinnfein.ie/ https://www.32csm.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_organizations https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/para/index.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organizations_designated_by_the_SPLC_… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organizations_designated_by_the_SPLC_… All above are primary subject sites spewing whatever "disgusting" they spew, unopposed onsite. Many to most of them are protected by CloudFlare... any terrorists, murderers, thieves, slavers among them... are behind CF, thus all endorsed and enshrined by CF as righteous, rightful and right... now that CloudFlare has put itself in the business of judgement by banning only DS and 8chan as "bad", thus all else hosted above and everything else CF hosts, must in fact be "good" in the official eyes of Cloudflare. Yet 8chan, a free and open board where anyone and everyone can and does come to talk about, propose, freely debate, share, understand, each other on all manner of whatever random subjects they want... is banned. That's fucking stupid. That would be like outlawing this... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=speakers+corner Turning it into these permitted Fake shit... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gje3HiouzvQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZpy7peBTCA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vux1kZyc81o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKD8BEeBAg0 https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=free+speech+zones The CF censorship is also meant to covering up their own embarrasing fact that they're ignoring and refusing to help their own troubled youth, families, neighborhoods, schools, citizens etc. Meanwhile spending utterly ridiculous amounts of money on gun control, marijuana police, military, fake manufactured political hot buttons, incarceration, spying, etc... all of which are pointless. Also meant to assist crush the right of others to live how they want not being ruled over by, nor harming, anyone else. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/aug/01/conspiracy-theories-fbi-qan… Conspiracy theories like QAnon could fuel 'extremist' violence, FBI says. Social media companies could lessen threat with "significant" crackdown on related content, bureau says. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/aug/04/mass-shootings-el-paso-t… In this article, Govt spy Matthew Prince supported freedom of speech no less than the day before banning 8chan... " "Stormer was an arbitrary decision. I woke up this morning in a bad mood and decided to kick them off the internet... I am deeply uncomfortable with the decision we made. It doesn't align with our principles." Cloudflare faced renewed public pressure over its protection of 8chan in the wake of the Christchurch massacre. And in a phone interview with the Guardian on Saturday night, Prince reiterated his belief that Cloudflare should not cease to provide services to sites such as 8chan based on their content. "If I could wave a magic wand and make all of the bad things that are on the internet go away... and I personally would put the Daily Stormer and 8chan in that category of bad things... I would wave that magic wand tomorrow, Prince said. It would be the easiest thing in the world and it would feel incredibly good for us to kick 8chan off our network, but I think it would step away from the obligation that we have and cause that community to still exist and be more lawless over time. But on Sunday evening, Cloudflare reversed positions, and said it would terminate services for 8chan. Just a day earlier, Prince had argued that keeping "bad" sites within Cloudflare's network means that the company is able to help monitor activity and flag illegal content to law enforcement. While he would not comment on specifics, he said that Cloudflare receives "regular requests" from law enforcement not to ban certain sites. "There are lots of competitors to Cloudflare that are not nearly as law abiding as we have always been," he said. "The minute that someone isn't on our network, they're going to be on someone else's network If you do a search for the Daily Stormer now, it's completely available. They're not gone, and they have bragged themselves that their subscriber counts have gone up. Prince also rejected any implication that Cloudflare's position is self-interested. "The right answer from a pure business perspective is just to kick them off, he said of 8chan. 'Of the 2 million-plus Cloudflare customers, they don't matter, and the pain that they cause is well beyond anything else.' Keeping 8chan within its network is a "moral obligation", he said, adding: "We, as well as all tech companies, have an obligation to think about how we solve real problems of real human suffering and death. What happened in El Paso today is abhorrent in every possible way, and it's ugly, and I hate that there's any association between us and that "For us the question is which is the worse evil? Is the worse evil that we kick the can down the road and don't take responsibility? Or do we get on the phone with people like you and say we need to own up to the fact that the internet is home to many amazing things and many terrible things and we have an absolute moral obligation to deal with that." " Whatever the answer is, it is most definitely not censorship. Speak Freely.

The Fed plans to create a system that would allow Americans to transfer money faster

https://www.newsbreakapp.com/n/0MVbm5ZB?s=a3&pd=02bR0aZz The Fed plans to create a system that would allow Americans to transfer money faster The Federal Reserve announced Monday it would develop a payment system that would allow bank payments and transfers to be made instantly and round-the-clock. Bank customers currently have to wait up to several days for transactions to pull through, a slower pace than in many major economies. The announcement came after major pushback effort from some of the largest banks, which have launched their own efforts to build such a system.

Cryptocurrency: Apple Card will not allow purchase of cryptocurrencies

jb: > Apple Card will not allow purchase of cryptocurrencies > https://finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-card-not-allow-purchase-215259906.html Neither will brick and mortar bank affiliated stockbrokers let their clients buy any of the Grayscale US market listed offerings such as ETCG. motes: > The articles claims the banks are concerned that volatile prices of cryptocurrencies could leave consumers with debts they are unable to pay. That’s rubbish. The banks are concerned as such but not in the connotation I believe most would construe. The volatile price might rise so rapidly everyone might actually use their credit to obtain and use cryptocoin and then not pay back their debts as banks have no recourse to collect debts except in dollars through courts, i.e. lien on your paycheck or direct freeze of bank account. Whatever they say, I think the bankers are only scared of cryptocurrency and can’t survive in a bitcoin economy where they can’t control the creation nor the transfer of money. Banks, Pay Systems, Governments... all these legacy examples... rightly fear Cryptocurrencies... nothing they can do to stop the course of history from diminishing their influence... writing is on the wall for them. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fear+bitcoin re Apple...

Will De Blasio "tax the hell" out of the super rich"?
by jim bell 06 Aug '19

https://www.taxthehell.com/?utm_medium=email There are BILLION$ of reasons to make them pay their fair share. 17 American oil and gas companies reported a combined total of $25 billion in direct one-time benefits from Trump's tax cuts. Energy giant ExxonMobil reported $5.9 billion in immediate tax cuts, ranking second only to Apple as the nation's single largest corporate beneficiary of the GOP tax bill. (source) ITEP Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: A Timeline In December 2017, federal lawmakers hastily enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. So rushed was its passage that pr... Since Trump's tax cuts were passed, the number of companies paying ZERO in federal taxes has gone from 30 to 60 per year. These companies include: IBM, Netflix, Amazon, General Motors, etc. (source) Corporate Tax Avoidance Remains Rampant Under New Tax Law For decades, profitable Fortune 500 companies have been able to manipulate the tax system to avoid paying even a... Just 6% of tax-related savings are going to workers, while 56% are going to shareholders. (source) What the Republican tax bill did — and didn’t — do, one year later Emily Stewart The GOP tax cuts didn’t pay for themselves. They did, however, deliver a lot of stock buybacks. 433 (87%) of Fortune 500 companies declined to say publicly whether they are giving any bonuses or wage increases to their employees due to the Trump tax cuts. (source) Trump Tax Cut Truths - Americans For Tax Fairness A comprehensive tax cut analysis database explaining how the Fortune 1000+ have spent their tax cuts after the p...

Two years after Dallas-based AT&T championed corporate tax cuts and pledged they'd lead to job creation, the company plans to cut nearly 2,000 jobs by the end of September in 23 states, including Texas and Oklahoma. (source) [enough of of De Blasio's nonsense] Apparently, it does not occur to De Blasio that if my AP (Assassination Politics, https://cryptome.org/ap.htm ) idea were implemented, it would probably only take a cumulative donation of about $1 million to see him "predicted" dead. Yes, America certainly has a problem with taxation. But the main problem is that taxation exists. And, that government seems to exist to hand out favors to people, taxing a huge fraction of the GDP, wasting $700 billion + on "defense", which could be provided by 100x less money with an AP-type system.

"White Terrorism" Lone-Wolf Losers
by John Young 06 Aug '19

"F.B.I. classifies it as domestic terrorism, but 'white terrorism' is more precise," Mr. Ron Rosenstein [ex-DAG] said on Twitter. "Many of the killers are lone-wolf losers indoctrinated to hate through the internet, just like Islamic terrorists." Nobody like that on peace-loving cpunks.
