On August 3rd (Sat) and 4th (Sun) of 2019, a series of shootings occurred in El Paso, Texas and Denton, Ohio, causing a total of 30 deaths. Among them, in the case of El Paso, it is known that the suspect is the user of Internet bulletin board

Of these, the suspects of El Paso's case published a statement in 8chan, similar to the suspects of the shootings at the mosque in Christchurch , New Zealand , which occurred on March 15, 2019. In addition, when a shooting case in which one person died in a synagogue in Powayway, California in April 2019, the suspect had published an open letter full of hatred to 8chan.
As a result, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince announced at 8:00 am Pacific time that he would stop providing services to 8chan.
Mr. Prince said, 'I am acknowledging even what should be blamed' about the contents of the site that is running the service in Cloudflare, 'causing a tragic event directly, It draws a line for platforms designed to be lawless, and 8chan has crossed that line. ' The same measures have been taken two years ago for the bulletin board site 'The Daily Stormer,' which claims neo-Nazi, white supremacy and the Holocaust denial.
In 8chan, we have tweeted that downtime may occur 24 to 48 hours. The 'The Daily Stormer' mentioned above has been revived by moving to a CDN different from Cloudflare, so 8chan is not considered to be closed this either.
Some of you might've read the @ Cloudflare news already. They're dropping 8chan. Https://t.co/FQJrv9wzvn

There may be some downtime in the next 24 to 48 hours while we find a solution (that includes our email so timely compliance with law enforcement requests may be affected).
In addition, as of 13:30 on August 5 (Mon), it looks normal.
