Now WTF is going on here? Newest word is Cloudflare has had a change of heart, or so it seems. Stay tuned. The ride is just beginning. What to believe? Meanwhile 8chan is running a bit slow but it is running.

SAN FRANCISCO — Cloudflare, the San Francisco-based company that provides internet infrastructure services to 8chan that help keep the site online, says it has no plans to stop working with the online message board that has been linked to users who are accused of at least three shootings this year.
 
The company said it has been in contact with law enforcement about Saturday’s mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, where the suspect is believed to have posted a manifesto on 8chan minutes before the attack. People accused of a synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh and shootings at two mosques in New Zealand also reportedly announced their plans on 8chan.
 
Cloudflare provides cybersecurity and other services to websites that help them to stay online. In 2017, Cloudflare pulled its services from The Daily Stormer, a Neo-Nazi website.
 
Douglas Kramer, Cloudflare general counsel and a former lawyer in President Obama’s White House, told CNN Business on Sunday that the company does not believe it should have the power to unilaterally decide what can and cannot stay on the internet, pointing out that even if Cloudflare stopped working with 8chan it could be possible for the site to still stay online.
 
The company isn’t legally required to provide its services to any website, regardless of content.
 
Kramer said Cloudflare complies with requests from law enforcement agencies and from courts relating to websites that are involved in child pornography and other illegal activity.
 
He said Cloudflare would comply with a request relating to 8chan if such a request were made, but the company would “want to see something from law enforcement or a regulator agency or a court that says, ‘We have made this decision after going through due process.'”
 
Kramer said while there are laws, regulations and processes in place for pulling online support services from websites like those used for child pornography, lawmakers and regulators have been less active in creating processes for sites like 8chan.
 
After the company stopped working with The Daily Stormer in 2017, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince questioned his own decision.
 
“You win a lot of points for firing Nazis from using your service,” Prince told CNN at the time. “But it sets a dangerous precedent when a company that most of your viewers have never heard of is effectively deciding what can and cannot be on the internet.”
 
“Without a clear framework as a guide for content regulation, a small number of companies will largely determine what can and cannot be online,” Prince wrote in a blog post at the time.
 
Cloudflare even posted a list of criticisms about its decision to its website.
 
Cloudflare sees itself as fundamentally different to services like Facebook, Kramer told CNN, because it is not involved in surfacing or moderating content.
 
“We really don’t have anything to do with content,” Kramer told CNN, “we see bit bits moving around the internet and we are one of the groups that make sure those bits move safely and securely.”
 
“Facebook sits up at the surface of the internet, forming communities, moderating those communities, figuring out what people want to see next,” he said.
 
“We recognize the tragedy of the two incidents that happened yesterday,” Kramer said, adding that Cloudflare was continuing to monitor the situation.
 
Fredrick Brennan, who created of 8chan, told CNN on Sunday that the site’s current administrators “are running it in a way that is indefensible.”
 
“If it’s going to keep on like this it should be shut down,” he said. “I don’t want to pile on but they are not doing anything to solve this. They should at least shut down the board for a week or a month after something like this. They are letting their users incite violence.”
 

Praying Medic twit acct. says services will be provided by bitmitigate.

It's all good.  CodeMonkey's back to make it happen.



First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win.

Turns out there are ISSUES.  New CDN doesn't want 8chan after all.

CDN=CDN = Content Delivery Network. (a collection of servers)

No new solution put in place yet:

I didn't do a good job here.

This is what went on behind the scene when CLOUDFARE dropped 8chan.
Then Codemonkey went to Bitmitigate, who was going to host 8chan,
except they're using Voxility equipment, and Voxility said NO, and
bounced Bitmitigate off their service.

CodeMonkey is still working on it.

BUT LOOK HOW IT ALL CAME DOWN; WHAT WAS SAID....

DISGUSTING STATEMENT FROM CLOUDFARE.

----------------
THEN, THIS is the second one that bailed:

Voxility was seemingly made aware of 8 chan’s move to its servers through a tweet sent by Alex Stamos, the former head of security at Facebook.

8 chan had moved to its servers using a third party vendor, according to Stamos. Voxility had apparently previously been unaware 8 chan was utilizing its services through the third party.

Stamos tweeted: In case you were wondering, it looks like the new host of 8 chan and Daily Stormer will effectively be @voxility. It looks like Epik/Bitmitigate owns very little of their own hardware and instead rents Voxility's servers and AS
CodeMonkey was going to use Bitmitigate, but they are a server with Voxility.  When Voxility got wind,  they shut Bitmitigate off COMPLETELY.

About 30 minutes after Stamos tweeted, Voxility responded in a tweet saying it was “addressing this urgently.”

Soon after, Voxility tweeted, “Update. 3rd party hosting the content is no longer available via Voxility network.”

Maria Sirbu, Voxility’s vice president of business development, told CNN in an email, “This is totally against our policy and yes, we acted as fast we could.

The racist online message board 8chan, to which suspects in at least three shootings this year posted hate-filled manifestos, has been struggling to stay accessible online after Cloudflare stopped providing support to the site on Sunday night.
First some background: 8chan is an online messaging board that has been used by anonymous accounts to share extremist messages and cheer on mass shooters. It is rife with racist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

What this means. I'm familiar with the peer2peer Bit Torrent platform and reading the above about "seeders" and having to use something called ZeroNet makes me think this may be something similar in function. Jury is still out on that until I can do more research though.

I got right on. Little slow but there none the less. No special p2p client required.

Thanks Dove.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeroNet

Just posted this for the info. Yes, works much like Bit Torrent. I don't know if you need the ZeroNet client to POST to 8chan but the link Dove posted seems to work for reading.

For what it's worth - AND - Neon could be right about this. Stay tuned.

The FINAL WORD on ZeroNet direct from Ron (@CodeMonkeyZ) 8chan admin.
