I'm not sure you want to live in a country that has a law requiring DNS filtering, because it will eventually be used to block all sorts of things not originally described, there's no oversight, and even if you don't circumvent it by using any other DNS provider but the one your ISP has, it's not actually effective according to a study published a while back.
Well, that's how it worked out in :denmark:

browsers will start opting in to dns over tls/https if we start getting to that point

It's obviously not about their DNS not blocking sites or whatever. It's about their choice in clients for their paid ddos protection services. They have taken, and take money from sites like stormfront, 8chan, the daily stormer, etc and protect(ed) their internet presence. When called out on this they claim there just infrastructure and are not about censorship.

In my opinion, when you're protecting sites it's not about censorship, it's about what kind of clientele you decide to actively protect.

Cloudflare has excellent service, I just don't think that they as a company deserve anyone's patronage. I will mention this whenever someone asks about cloudflare. Do with this information what you will.

I’m honestly curious how you distinguish between Cloudflare’s services from Google or Amazon providing ddos protection?

well, you can say it's not about censorship, but the protection that cloudflare provides allows these sites to exist. that's why cloudflare working with them is significant.

i don't disagree that it'd be great if sites like that went away, but i don't think you should want a random corporation to start playing morality police in this way. their opinions of what sites should and should not exist won't always match up with your own.

Who gets defined as a “nazi” can differ greatly from person to person. There are plenty of fundies out there that think Planned Parenthood is doing Holocaust 2.0.

these days cloudflare assiduously forward all complaints upstream, pretty much regardless of their legal merit, and are also responsive to requests from foreign law enforcement / govts that content be geo-blocked in accordance with their own local laws. not only does putting your site behind cloudflare not shield you from legal complaints you'd normally get, it actually risks your content being made inaccessible by foreign countries who might otherwise have just been ignored by your upstream provider. it's a boon to those wishing to curb the jurisdictional arbitrage that underpins publishing objectionable content online

it's interesting - especially in light of some social networks' well publicised habit of making acceptable use rules up as they go along - that when cloudflare say "come back with a warrant (from anywhere lol)" some people's response is "stop requiring that and make these decisions yourself" rather than "why is such material not against the law"

The problem isn't censoring nazis the problem is censoring whoever random internet dude considers a nazi. ITT, youtube, reddit, somethingawful, facebook, twitter, and me, a pro-militant leftist someone who fishmech, a cop, has met once, are all nazis. So maybe there is a problem of overly broad definitions here.

another advantage of having upstream blocks on nazi sites is that there's a good chance something awful will also be caught in the filter
