I stand corrected. I conflated GoDaddy's rationale with Cloudflare's CEO statement:
Earlier today, Cloudflare terminated the account of the Daily Stormer. We've stopped proxying their traffic and stopped answering DNS requests for their sites. We've taken measures to ensure that they cannot sign up for Cloudflare's services ever again.
Our terms of service reserve the right for us to terminate users of our network at our sole discretion. The tipping point for us making this decision was that the team behind Daily Stormer made the claim that we were secretly supporters of their ideology.
Our team has been thorough and have had thoughtful discussions for years about what the right policy was on censoring. Like a lot of people, we’ve felt angry at these hateful people for a long time but we have followed the law and remained content neutral as a network. We could not remain neutral after these claims of secret support by Cloudflare.

On 09/13/2017 12:07 PM, Marina Brown quoted Jim Bell:
Sorry, but you are not even hundreds of miles away from being correct on this. To label DNS service, which is essentially monopoly, as supporting "genocide" is about 3-4 leaps of logic, far too much to work. A few nuts spouting nonsense is far, very far, from "conspiracy to commit genocide". Merely providing necessary net services to them, just as is done for thousands of sites, cannot possibly be described that way.
Cmon Jim! You know better! That wing ding at the beginning of the Persian Gulf Invasion? An Annapolis Ham Packet bbs that handled an anti-war message? Remember?
The first node IS responsible for content, barring federal intervention/regulation such as declaring a mode of operation or organization, a "Common Carrier". DNSes have NO SUCH IMMUNITY.
