The Daily Stormer Are AssholesInternet companies typically take a hands off approach to offensive content on their networks, erring on the side of maintaining an open internet. But this approach sometimes ends in PR disaster. For Twitter, the debate has bubbled up in the form of rampant harassment, and the company has responded by slowly, grudgingly blocking high profile harassers from its platform. For You. Tube, the debate has focused on ISIS propaganda and other extremist videos. After a violent weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia that ended with a protester being killed, that fight has focused on Go. Daddy, Cloudflare, and other companies that provide web hosting and DDo.

Today, Cloudflare reversed its long held policy to remain content neutral and booted The Daily Stormer out from behind its DDo. S protection service. This was my decision. This is not Cloudflares general policy now, going forward, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince told Gizmodo. I think we have to have a conversation over what part of the infrastructure stack is right to police content. Prince explained in an internal email to staffers that he doesnt think CEOs of internet companies should be in the position of policing content on their networkshe told Gizmodo he thinks thats a job that should ultimately be left up to law enforcement if the content violates the lawbut felt pushed to act because the operators of the Daily Stormer are assholes. I realized there was no way we were going to have that conversation with people calling us Nazis, Prince said. The Daily Stormer site was bragging on their bulletin boards about how Cloudflare was one of them and that is the opposite of everything we believe. VIC. Vol 7 Edition 34. August 2016. 3. 00 inc GST.

But leaving these decisions to CEOs like himself is exactly what Prince doesnt wantand thats why Cloudflare isnt changing its content neutral policy going forward. Instead, Prince wants to spark a conversation about how tech should respond to abhorrent content, and whether content should be policed by registrars, browsers, or social networks. We need to have a discussion around this, with clear rules and clear frameworks. My whims and those of Jeff Bezos and Larry Page and Satya Nadella and Mark Zuckerberg, that shouldnt be what determines what should be online, he said.

I think the people who run The Daily Stormer are abhorrent. But again I dont think my political decisions should determine who should and shouldnt be on the internet. Heres the email Prince sent to staffers today explaining his decision Team Earlier today Cloudflare terminated the account of the Daily Stormer. Weve stopped proxying their traffic and stopped answering DNS requests for their sites. Yahoo Lifestyle is your source for style, beauty, and wellness, including health, inspiring stories, and the latest fashion trends. Search the worlds information, including webpages, images, videos and more. Google has many special features to help you find exactly what youre looking for. Do you deliberately avoid visiting friends who live in multistory buildings without an elevator No one would fault youhaving to climb even just a single flight. Weve taken measures to ensure that they cannot sign up for Cloudflares services again. This was my decision. Our terms of service reserve the right for us to terminate users of our network at our sole discretion. My rationale for making this decision was simple the people behind the Daily Stormer are assholes and Id had enough. Let me be clear this was an arbitrary decision. It was different than what Id talked talked with our senior team about yesterday. I woke up this morning in a bad mood and decided to kick them off the Internet. I called our legal team and told them what we were going to do. I called our Trust Safety team and had them stop the service. It was a decision I could make because Im the CEO of a major Internet infrastructure company. Having made that decision we now need to talk about why it is so dangerous. Ill be posting something on our blog later today. Literally, I woke up in a bad mood and decided someone shouldnt be allowed on the Internet. No one should have that power. Cloudflare employees name redacted asked after I told him what we were going to do Is this the day the Internet dies He was half joking, but I actually think its an important question. Its important that what we did today not set a precedent. The right answer is for us to be consistently content neutral. But we need to have a conversation about who and how the content online is controlled. We couldnt have that conversation while the Daily Stormer site was using us. Now, hopefully, we can. Ill be publishing a blog post with all our thoughts on this issue in a few hours. Until then, Id ask that you not talk about this externally. Matthew Prince. Co founder CEOUpdate 81. ET Prince published a blog post on Cloudflares site discussing the reasons behind his decision. Removing Cloudflares protection opens sites up to vigilante DDo. S attacks, Prince explained. The size and scale of the attacks that can now easily be launched online make it such that if you dont have a network like Cloudflare in front of your content, and you upset anyone, you will be knocked offline, he wrote. But having the mechanism of content control be vigilante hackers launching DDo. S attacks subverts any rational concept of justice. Fan. Fiction. Author has written 1. Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars, Big Bang Theory, Harry Potter, Worm, Ironman, Stargate SG 1, Avengers, and A Certain Scientific Railgun. Hello everyone,Things have finally calmed down and I am starting to write again. It is a wonderful feeling. Lately, I have been completely fascinated by Veronica Mars and the Big Bang Theory, having watched them four times each in total. Contrast this with having watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer twelve times completely through. I love the character of Veronica. Flawed, vulnerable, yet at the same time as prickly as one of those West Texas prickly pears, she is an awesome character. I also love Penny, who while not knowledgeable about physics, knows more about life and living than Leonard and Sheldon combined. I currently have five stories posted. The are Secrets and Lies A Father Daughter Story This is a Veronica Mars story. VM is one of my favorite shows right up there with Bt. VS and Firefly. Kennedy the Vampire Slayer Season One Ill tell you a little secret. This is my favorite story that I have written. I took a bunch of minor characters that the shows writers scrapped and tried to make them relevant. Its a lot of fun and a companion piece to LELB. The Alternate Beginning Juxtaposition Not a pain and angst story. After rewatching TBBT for the fourth time from beginning to end, I was inspired to write a story with my favorite couple from the show Leonard and Penny. Forgive as I have Leonard avoid some of the pitfalls of the show and give the two of them a true romance. Lifes Ending, Lifes Beginning In many ways, I consider this my masterpiece. I changed the character of Buffy through tragedy, true, but also by giving her a different life and a sense of hope for the future. Cali is my favorite character. Resurrection My stab at writing a HP story. I have read a million of them but was unwilling to throw my hat in. This is my attempt. Its dark and disturbing and will feature redemption as a central issue. I hope you read and enjoy. I certainly enjoy getting all of this stuff out of my head. I apologize ahead of time for how rough it is. I havent been using a beta reader since writing this, mostly just free handing everything. What means is I just sit down and write what the characters tell me. So far, it has worked. If the story gets too complex, I may run into trouble. I have read a few writers here who motivated me to write Veronica Mars jenwin. Truth Series. Vanessa. Galore with her wonderfully complex Year of Living Dangerously. Series. MLP with the fantastic A Life Extraordinary and accompanying Venus and Mars. So many others who I have been reading lately also inspired me. You can tell who they are because they listed under my favorite stories. Ive read too many Harry Potter stories to list just a few for inspiration. See my favorites for what inspires. Couples. There are a few couples in fanfiction that I prefer over all others. My favorite is Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. I consider them the greatest couple in fanfiction and it takes a hell of a well written story to persuade me otherwise. Ron with Hermione annoys the hell out of me and I could never see them working. Harry and Ginny were equally as bad since she was chasing his fame the entire time. Both are examples of how bad JKR is at writing romance. I wont get into any of the more unusual pairings like Snape and Hermione or Draco and Hermione as I dont read those stories and dont feel like throwing up in my mouth. As far as Harry goes, I can read a good Luna or Daphne pairing or even Susan Bones. All have many of the characteristics that Harry seeks in a mate, although they lack the unending loyalty that Hermione has always shown. My second is Logan Echolls and Veronica Mars. Their story is every bit as epic as Logan could have ever wished. Every time I watch the balcony scene at the Camelot my breath catches and I know that I am seeing the start of something great. Third is definitely Buffy Summers and Xander Harris. Though they were never together on the show, they should have been. Angel was never a good fit for Buffy, pulling her deeper into the darkness. For Xander, you never felt that anyone he was paired with, even Cordelia, evoked the same passion and tenderness he felt for Buffy. Last, I love Penny and Leonard Hofstadler. They are such a contrast in character and interests, but they work. I could never get into Penny and Sheldon, even though Sheldon is my 2nd favorite character on the show after Penny. I like him, but I recognize the flaws that make him and Penny an impossible couple. Despite flashes of sweetness, Sheldon is selfish, unforgiving, intellectually arrogant, and cruel. He would drive most normal people insane, and I give Leonard kudos for sticking with him all of these years after Sheldon saved his life. Other thoughts I am not a fan of slash and will never write it. To me, making such a fundamental change to someone is tantamount to writing a Mary Sue or Marty Stu character. Having a character decide out of nowhere to go through life line dancing wherever they are or to eat the brains of babies wouldnt be any greater of a change than that. So whether you like a line dancing Harry, a brain eating Hermione, or a gay Xander, my stuff wouldnt be for you.
