A Silicon Valley firm is helping ISIS bolster speeding up and improving their online security, Anonymous have claimed.
The hacktivists, who have targeted the terrorist group's internet activity in response to the attacks in Paris, have accused
CloudFlare of protecting pro-militant websites.
The startup provides services to around four million customers that speeds up website loading times and helps defend
against cyber attacks.
They stop so-called Denial of Service Attacks - where websites are overrun with traffic so they are forced to shut down -
by routing connections through its own network.
Hacking collective Anonymous claim Silicon Valley firm CloudFlare are helping to protect ISIS from cyber attacks by providing their services
This means that if Anonymous tried to get online and take the website down, the technology provided by CloudFare would stop them.
A recent report accused CloudFare of protecting 40 websites with links to terrorism - including 37 purely pushing propaganda.
Anonymous posted on Twitter: 'Once again, @CloudFlare have been found to be providing services to pro-#IslamicState
websites. Shameful. #OpISIS #Daesh #Anonymous.'
Matthew Prince, CloudFlare's cofounder and CEO, says Anonymous's claims is just 'armchair analysis' and insists they
would have no benefit from supporting the terror group.
He told The Register: 'I'd suggest this was armchair analysis by kids – it's hard to take seriously. Anonymous uses us for
some of its sites, despite pressure from some quarters for us to take Anonymous sites offline.'
He added that if cops or federal authorities came to their San Francisco office then they would cooperate, suggesting he
would rather take advice from the State Department or U.S. Government over a faceless Twitter user.
A second tweet said the startup was 'shameful' for providing services to the militants
'Even if we were hosting sites for ISIS, it wouldn't be of any use to us,' Prince added. 'I should imagine those kinds of
people pay with stolen credit cards and so that's a negative for us.
Out of four million customers, he also said some were likely to be some dodgy customers.
In 2013, they faced similar accusations with a website linked to Al Qaeda.
Prince wrote a blog post in response, suggesting they were protecting free speech.
He said: 'A website is speech. It is not a bomb. There is no imminent danger it creates and no provider has an affirmative
obligation to monitor and make determinations about the theoretically harmful nature of speech a site may contain …
'If we were to receive a valid court order that compelled us to not provide service to a customer then we would comply with that court order.
'We have never received a request to terminate the site in question from any law enforcement authority, let alone a valid
order from a court.'

extensive global terrorist campaign the world has ever seen.
Noam Chomsky:
Posted on March 19, 2015
In an interview with Brazilian television broadcaster in Brazil during a conference in Buenos Aires,
Argentina, Noam Chomsky discusses the many ways the Obama administration has not only
supported terrorism but took part in it with the drone program. Although both short-
introduction and question the interviewer asks about the last two years of Obama
Portuguese Presidency are, most of the video is in English.
Emir Sader (Brazil commentator and EBC)
political commentator question
What is the balance that mr. Obama is the government until chi and the last two years
of his mandate?
Noam Chomsky
in international affairs to the main contribution of Obama was the launch of the most
extensive global terrorist campaign the world has ever seen.
It is a campaign of assassinations directed officially kill people the government
believes American might wish to harm the United States.
If you kill someone else who happen to be very close and there was nothing
like this in the past.
This is an important innovation in the history of international terrorism .
There is also a campaign that generates terrorism., which is well understood by those
high positions.
By killing someone in a village in Yemen and two people who were
there are strong chances that other people will want revenge. This dynamic -
has been carried out in a very effective maniera.
If you look at history and what the West calls terrorism -. in style jihad
has 15 years, it is among those in Afghanistan and northwestern Pakistan
tribal areas. Now everybody., Everybody.
There gora terrorist campaigns go. That's a natural development.
This is what you expect when people are killed in the tribal areas
are already under pressure from central government policies. also in
the international arena is not much to say.
Obama continues to support Israel's policy of illegal settlements in proposed
projects in the occupied territories and repeated attacks and cruéias the Gaza Strip .... He
went so far as to veto a resolution of the Security Council of the UN. He asked
what application is officially US policy, not espan-
tion settlement., it is a minor issue. The settlements that must
be. But Obama vetoed.
