cloudflare isn't in the gun business, arguably it's in the speech business. why are you disappointed that they took action over part of the problem they have control over?


Because they just influenced public discourse in a negative way. They shouldn't have taken any action now. In two month would still be time to act on this if it's still deemed the right choice then.


In two months there will have been another mass shooting. Are they then supposed to wait another 2 months before acting? Given the current state of the US, Cloudflare will never have a window where it is appropriate to do anything according to your standard.

So yes, let's all sit on our hands say there's nothing we can do and now isn't the right time to have this discussion and wonder why these tragedies continue to happen.
