Cloudflare Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TontoDummyPiano Tonto's expanding blocklist (@TontoDummyPiano) reported

    @ADL @Cloudflare Ignore all the idiot replies, KF really is as bad as they say. Thank you for talkin' about this

  • MothraElita93 diet dr pepper enjoyer (@MothraElita93) reported

    @AzureMako i'm starting to think that earlier outage was an attempt to try and trick people that it was down, considering that this downed site screen is more consistent with other websites that use cloudflare

  • noxyntious Noxyntious (@noxyntious) reported

    @ivan123h @omametech @Cloudflare clearly they don't give a ****

  • GossiTheDog Kevin Beaumont (@GossiTheDog) reported

    @deusrex Hitler was **** too, just because GoDaddy is **** doesn’t make it a role model. Almost every host will kick off spam and malware. Cloudflare should enforce their ToS.

  • JigokuCake 地獄ケーキ(Hokusaist)🍰🇺🇸🚞 (@JigokuCake) reported

    @ADL @Cloudflare Organization started in order to defend a ****** and murderer is now joining forces with a predator and drug pusher to take down a website. Some things never change.

  • _mackal Michael Cook (@_mackal) reported

    @marcan42 @Cloudflare wtf does @cloudflare gain here?

  • Glen_Berry Glen Berry (@Glen_Berry) reported

    @ariadneconill @Cloudflare Cloudflare protects practically anyone who wants their services, and many of those services are totally free of charge. I don't like ISIL or the Taliban having access to their protection, but how are you going to effectively block them, while offering service to everyone else?

  • adriancantrill Adrian Cantrill (@adriancantrill) reported

    hey @teachable you have an outage again ? CloudFlare errors

  • Maximum_Chess MaximumChess (@Maximum_Chess) reported

    @TontoDummyPiano @StormyStrife Cloudflare and those sites aren't the problem. Section 230 is the problem.

  • basedbarboach something (@basedbarboach) reported

    @DidymusSeth @ADL @Cloudflare Cloudflare is directly supporting a hate website, that's the problem here. Cloudflare does more than DDOS protection, that also function as a content delivery network. By helping to deliver KiwiFarms content, they are helping spread hate.

  • DukeofNewYork1 r (@DukeofNewYork1) reported

    @ADL @Cloudflare Wtf is the definition of "extremist friendly"? Null is easy to contact, if you think something there is posted illegally there are means for it to be removed.

  • deusrex Blair (@deusrex) reported

    @GossiTheDog So, "any webhost" was hyperbolic; now you're mad because you were shown to be wrong and are avoiding the point. If Cloudflare wishes to provide services to them, that's their business unless they've broken the law we can't legislate morality who can be serviced by a company.

  • MineBoomGaming MineBoom (@MineBoomGaming) reported

    Cloudflare be setting themselves up for a lawsuit with all this negligence, god damn

  • caulfeild_sky Sky 402A 🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦 (@caulfeild_sky) reported

    @BunnyCDN hi, as your likely aware CloudFlare has sponsored many terrible harmful sites such as KiwiFarms as a future customer(after WAF and DDOS protection launch) where do you stand on the issue? Would you allow a harmful site to become a customer or would

  • bakablast_ bakablast (@bakablast_) reported

    @keffals kiwifarms is still down but no longer has their customized splash page with the transphobic message in the rotation, now it's just a generic 522 error - maybe cloudflare did the decent thing and replaced it with the default one?

  • cedwilme Cedar (@cedwilme) reported

    @StormyStrife @ADL @Cloudflare Your bloodline has just been cursed for 7 generations for posting this god awful **** 💀

  • WSmith01984 WinstonSmith.cashOnly (@WSmith01984) reported

    @AmandaR81335674 CloudFlare has not dropped KiwiFarms. CloudFlare are currently providing service to KiwiFarms.

  • krtign blahblahblah (@krtign) reported

    @ADL @keffals @Cloudflare Don't join this dumbass grift. The site's not going down... And this definitely won't lead to Stormfront going down either.

  • basedbarboach something (@basedbarboach) reported

    @DidymusSeth @ADL @Cloudflare I never said DDOS-ing isn't a criminal act? I said Cloudflare should not be providing services to a hate website... I also pointed out that CF is more than DDOS protection. How do websites exist without CF? KiwiFarms should just handle things themselves or use another company.

    @vivify___ Selling all my cloudflare shares, they are never going to recover from this one.

  • My1xT My1 (@chaos.social) (@My1xT) reported

    @AnachronistJohn @marcan42 @Cloudflare I am just saying that i am a person who thinks the net should be neutral and one should try and contact the authorities (which then can decide if it's illegal) rather than a service provider just unilaterally shutting it down.

  • basedbarboach something (@basedbarboach) reported

    @DidymusSeth @ADL @Cloudflare They never said to DDOS anyone? They just said Cloudflare needs to drop KiwiFarms.

  • bobmike30054230 bob mike (@bobmike30054230) reported

    @Kotaku Even if cloudflare stopped working with Kiwi Farms, Kiwi would find a different DDOS protection service. There is no chance Kiwi Farms will ever go down, Just like Kefaals will never be a real woman.

    @ADL @Cloudflare Where ******** were you ten years ago?

  • tfwnocascagf . (@tfwnocascagf) reported

    @ADL @Cloudflare Small hats, big problems

  • MineBoomGaming MineBoom (@MineBoomGaming) reported

    @lauragift_ @Cloudflare Stop using Cloudflare's **** until they #DropKiwifarms.

  • ScaryMiles Scary Miles (@ScaryMiles) reported

    @Silvanathecat @keffals Keffals probably had some downtime for the same reason KF did: cloudflare had some issues. (Keffals also uses cloudflare)

  • shelly2161 shelly/Infosec The Scarlet Hacker Witch (@shelly2161) reported

    @LetruneInedil @Cloudflare domain which incidentally our new websites will be doing also , such hate sites are very very portable and hard to put out of business but not impossible to cripple if you go have 3rd party service proves such as SMS, email hosts , chat services etc etc .

  • Xpropriation 𝔇𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔫🏳️‍🌈🔬 (@Xpropriation) reported

    @HaloFinite @ADL @Cloudflare Damn you must lead a really sad life

  • KardOnIce 👻🎃 Status Quo 🎃👻 (@KardOnIce) reported

    numerous activists and victims highlighted just how terrible cloudflare's policies were, but the company actively did not care until media attention forced them to change their policies.
