This is not a problem and would not happen for an enterprise customer.



Except when it does - for example CloudFront and GoDaddy vs. Stormfront.

Agree or disagree with a user, but paying for a service doesn't guarantee you get to keep it.

Shopify has made the decision to keep Breitbart as a customer on the pretense they just provide an apolitical service, but crowds certainly tried to pressure them to take a stance and drop them.


I think most companies can live with the caveat that they may be dropped if they are Nazis or white supremacists.

I wish OVH would follow that idea when it comes to booting spammers off their network. Failing that, I moved my boxes (that also serve mail, but the legitimate kind) off their network, which ended my troubles with ip range based blacklists.

Sometimes companies need to decide which sort of customers they want to retain.
