Matthew Prince, the CEO of Cloudflare, discusses the web hosting company's decision to remove neo-Nazi website 'DailyStormer' from their servers. VICE News meets with the CEO of Cloudflare to discuss the latest and most high-profile case of Silicon Valley drawing a line in the sand.



"I found the DailyStormer repugnant. I am not shedding a tear that that content isn't online anymore," Prince said. "But one of my fellow employees came up to me on the day we finally took it offline, and asked: Hey is this the day the internet dies?"



"I woke up one day and opened Twitter, and there were a bunch of screenshots of some of the people behind the site, saying that people at Cloudflare were actually supporting [them], and the upper echelons of their leadership are actually white nationalists... What it had become was such a distraction that we couldn't have the really important conversation about what role should Cloudflare be playing in regulating the internet," he said.



He added: "I am deeply concerned that I had the authority and the power to wake up one morning and say I am done... I'm sick of this, so fuck 'em they're off the internet."
