US cyber security firm Cloudfare on Monday said it would terminate the online message board 8chan as a customer.
A gunman used the messaging forum prior to killing 20 people at a Walmart store in El Pasa Texas on Saturday and posted a 4-page manifesto calling the attack ‘a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas’.
Mathew Prince, the chief executive of Cloudfare stated in a blog post that he considers it important to build a better internet and that the firm has drawn the line with 8chan which has demonstrated it inspires tragic events and is lawless by design.
