Cloudflare's CEO Matthew Prince points out that 8chan is likely to find a new CDN provider and get it up and running again. As expected, Ron Watkins, 8chan's administrator, said on Twitter that 'All domains have been removed from Cloudflare and will move to another service as soon as possible,' 8chan will soon be a new CDN provider called BitMitigate. It was revived by switching to.




BitMitigate is a CDN network similar to Cloudflare, but Cloudflare makes exceptions such as hate speech for its freedom of speech, whereas BitMitigate does not place any restrictions on which website Also offers a service. In 2017, “The Daily Stormer”, a website that claims neo-Nazi / white supremacy, has been revived using BitMitigate after being discontinued by Cloudflare.

Nicholas Lim, founder of BitMitigate, said that BitMitigate provided DDoS protection to The Daily Stormer, despite having a very contrasting belief regarding content The question is not “whether or not The Daily Stormer content exists”, but “the responsibility of technology companies to maintain consistency in protecting the right to freedom of expression as defined in the Constitution” Whether or not, 'he said, and said that he respects absolute freedom of speech.

Later, Lim sold BitMitigate to Epik, another company. Epik, who inherited BitMitigate's CDN provider business, said, “As long as we are legal, we will provide services. We are not a law enforcement expert. Will not stop the service to ',' also provides services to the anti-Semitic community.

However, BitMitigate rented a Voxility server instead of its own server and operated it for its own service. The fact that “the revived 8chan is in fact supported by Voxility” was pointed out on Twitter, and Voxility ’s Twitter account is “already working on this. All content will be blocked soon”.



And 8chan stopped operating in about 7-8 hours after the resurrection. “It seems that BitMitigate has been removed (from Voxility) because it hosted 8chan,” said admin Watkins.



Yet Watkins tweeted, “We are in the process of deregulating and moving forward with a strategy to bring the service back online,” suggesting that 8chan will be back again.




In Japan time, at 10 o'clock on August 6, 2019, 8chan was inactive and inaccessible.
