What the hell is going on with this. It doesn't matter if I log on through Safari or Firefox on the Mac or the iPad; I get to pick boats or bicycles multiple times during the day. And then it gives me another message my posted image is too big. I've checked both devices, both Apple, with two malware detection programs, no issues on either.
If you guys wanted to drive people away from coming here, you're doing a good job.
When you are in a thread, you can't post an image without this, or if you click on a referenced thread in a post, you get hit again. The functionality of working in the forum is an issue.
From Wiki........ Cloudflare has faced several controversies over its unwillingness to monitor content distributed via its network[31][32][33][34]—a stance it has defended based on the principle of free speech.[35] Cloudflare stated that it will "continue to abide by the law" and "serve all customers", further explaining "our proper role is not that of Internet censor".[36] These controversies have involved Cloudflare's policy of content neutrality and subsequent usage of its services by numerous contentious websites,[37] including The Daily Stormer and 8chan,[38] an imageboard which has been linked to multiple mass shootings in the United States and the Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand.[39][40] Under public pressure, Cloudflare terminated services to The Daily Stormer in 2017 and to 8chan following the 2019 El Paso shooting.
Cloudflare has come under pressure on multiple occasions due to its policies and for refusing to cease technical support (such as DNS routing and DDoS mitigation) of websites such as LulzSec, The Daily Stormer, and 8chan.[31][32][33][35] Some have argued Cloudflare's services allow access to content which spreads hate and has led to harm and deaths.[39][40][41][42][43] However Cloudflare, as an Internet infrastructure provider, has broad legal immunity from the content produced by its users.[44]
Cloudflare provided DNS routing and DoS protection for the white supremacist and neo-**** website, The Daily Stormer. In 2017 Cloudflare stopped providing its services to The Daily Stormer after an announcement on the controversial website asserted that the "upper echelons" of Cloudflare were "secretly supporters of their ideology".[45] Previously Cloudflare had refused to take any action regarding The Daily Stormer.[44] As a self-described "free speech absolutist", Cloudflare's CEO Matthew Prince, in a blog post, vowed never to succumb to external pressure again and sought to create a "political umbrella" for the future.[44] Prince further addressed the dangers of large companies deciding what is allowed to stay online, a concern that is shared by a number of civil liberties groups and privacy experts.[46][47][48] The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a US digital rights group, said that services such as Cloudflare "should not be adjudicating what speech is acceptable", adding that "when illegal activity, like inciting violence or defamation, occurs, the proper channel to deal with it is the legal system."[45]
The Huffington Post has alleged that Cloudflare provides services to "at least 7 terrorist groups", as designated by the United States Department of State[32][34] including the Taliban, Hamas, and the al-Quds Brigades, and has been aware since at least 2012, and has taken no action. However, according to Cloudflare's CEO, no law enforcement agency has asked the company to discontinue these services.[49]
In 2019, Cloudflare was criticized for providing services to the discussion and imageboard 8chan, which allows users to post and discuss any content with minimal interference from site administrators. The message board has been linked to mass shootings in the United States and the Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand.[39][40][41] In addition, a number of news organizations including The Washington Post and The Daily Dot have reported the existence of child pornography and child sexual abuse discussion boards.[42][43][50] A Cloudflare representative has been quoted by the BBC saying that the platform "does not host the referenced websites, cannot block websites, and is not in the business of hiding companies that host illegal content".[51] In an August 3 interview with The Guardian, immediately following the 2019 El Paso shooting, CEO Matthew Prince defended Cloudflare's support of 8chan, stating that he had a "moral obligation" to keep the site online.[52] In August 2019, Cloudflare terminated services to 8chan, an American imageboard, after the perpetrator of the 2019 El Paso shooting allegedly used the website to upload his manifesto.[53]
Cloudflare services have been used by Rescator, a carding website that sells stolen payment card data.[54][55][56] Two of the top three online chat forums belonging to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) are guarded by Cloudflare. According to Prince, U.S. law enforcement has not asked Cloudflare to discontinue the service, and it has not chosen to do so itself.[49] In November 2015, hacktivist group Anonymous discouraged the use of Cloudflare's services following the ISIL attacks in Paris and the renewed accusation that Cloudflare aids terrorists.[57] Cloudflare responded by calling the group "15-year-old kids in Guy ****es masks", and saying that whenever such concerns are raised it consults anti-terrorism experts and abides by the law.[58]
In late 2019, Cloudflare was criticized for providing services to the anti-black website Chimpmania. Hundreds of thousands signed a petition on Change.org urging Prince to terminate services to Chimpmania. The petition was created by the parents of a biracial baby who was born with gastroschisis and who was mocked as a "mulatto monkey baby" by site users, and whose pictures were posted on the site. Over the ten years the site has been active, numerous other petitions have also been leveled against it, none of which were successful.[59]
