8chan, the extremist message board used by three alleged killers in the past six months to distribute racist and white nationalist manifestos prior to mass shootings, lost the protection of an important security service provider when Cloudflare announced in a blogpost the company would be “terminating 8chan as a client”.

Cloudflare’s decision on Sunday may jeopardize 8chan’s ability to remain on the open web in the near term, because the company has been protecting 8chan from distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, and the site is a likely target for internet vigilantes.
