Admittedly without reading the article, but: it's completely unfair to accuse a company of supporting something when they have no direct knowledge and very little control to prevent someone like ISIS from using their services.

It's like if a member of ISIS has an Amazon.com account and buys a pocket knife off Amazon. Is Amazon now to be accused of selling weapons to terrorists, when they couldn't have had pre-knowledge of such a thing?

It's one thing if Cloudfare/Amazon investigates and says, "yes, we know it's ISIS, but we won't stop servicing them as a customer". I am quite sure that isn't the case.

In the article, Cloudfare states that they have protected Anonymous's websites from the government and find it hypocryptical for them to be attacking them for someone using their services.
