Description:
"Burma Campaign UK today slammed American web services company Cloudflare as ‘complete hypocrites’ for terminating its services for the 8chan website, used by terrorist white nationalists involved in mass shootings in America and elsewhere, whilst still working for Min Aung Hlaing, head of the Burmese military. United Nations investigators have said Min Aung Hlaing should be prosecuted at the International Criminal Court for genocide of the ethnic Rohingya from Burma.
“Cloudflare are complete hypocrites, saying they draw the line at content on 8chan while at the same time working for a military leader responsible for genocide,” said Mark Farmaner, Director of Burma Campaign UK. “The only conclusion that can be drawn is that Cloudflare see American lives as more valuable and important than the lives of the Rohingya. You only cross a line for Cloudflare when you kill Americans, not foreigners.”
Cloudflare provides website services for Min Aung Hlaing’s personal website, and for the military-controlled Burmese police force, which also played a role in the genocide of the Rohingya in addition to numerous other human rights violations across the country.
In December 2018 Burma Campaign UK placed Cloudflare on its ‘Dirty List’ of companies linked to Burma’s military. Cloudflare have not responded to correspondence from Burma Campaign UK but defended working for Min Aung Hlaing when approached by media..."
