Internet infrastructure company Cloudflare has indicated it will continue to provide services to a notorious trolling website that harasses and doxxes trans people, admitting it regrets taking action against other sites in the past.

Cloudflare, which provides protection to websites from distributed denial of service attacks, has been under pressure to cease protecting Kiwi Farms, a community forum website that frequently targets trans people online - including by repeatedly posting their personal information.
