CF = no thanks.

They have the nickname Crimeflare for a reason. They allow hundreds of thousands of criminals to use their services maliciously and its a huge hassle to report them only to be met with their stance of "we are only routing traffic not hosting it" and they wont remove the most blatant phishing and malicious pages.

Are you confusing their comments about (paraphrased) "horrible but legal" (up to a point) sites like dailystormer, 8chan, and kiwifarms, with actual blatant phishing sites?

I find it very difficult to believe they won't remove sites involved in clear phishing or malware delivery campaigns, if they can verify it themselves or in cooperation with a security team at a company they trust. That's different from sites that are morally repugnant and whose members spew vitriol, but aren't making any particular threats (and even in cases where there are clear and present threats, CF usually seems to prefer to notify law enforcement, and then follow court orders, rather than inject themselves as a 3rd party judge into the proceedings).

This isn’t true about Daily S. They have been actively working towards and expressively proposing a new holocaust for decades now. In what way are they not an existential threat for Jews, or LGBTQ?

You may find it difficult to believe buts its true. Tons of phishing and malicious websites use CF nameservers to prevent ddos attacks and etc and Crimeflare will not terminate their access or accounts when reported for the reason I stated above. Even if it's something obvious like coinbase-account-login.com or etc. they do not give a fuck.
