Everyone looks bad in this conflict.
How does this make Matthew look bad?
Calling on JD Vance and Elon as if they're known for a principled respect for free speech is crazy. It just reads as unnecessary propaganda or a poorly-disguised threat from powerful friends. I'm generally inclined to agree with Cloudflare here and the post makes me question that.
Matt acting like he's a free speech absolutist. Hilarious.
Italy and Spain are the bad actors here. Not cloudflare.

You have it backwards. I'm the free speech absolutist. Cloudflare is not.
On a scale of oppression he certainly leans towards free.
That's like being slightly pregnant.
