Investment advisor JLens announced plans to vote against select Cloudflare Inc. (NYSE: NET) board members at the company's 2026 annual meeting, citing the internet infrastructure provider's failure to prevent its services from supporting websites that spread violent extremism and terrorist content.

The action follows a report published by the Anti-Defamation League that found Cloudflare currently provides infrastructure services to gore forums, violent extremist sites, and propaganda outlets for ISIS, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization. The ADL report identified that users of the gore forum WatchPeopleDie, which uses Cloudflare's services, have been linked to six violent attacks that killed 12 people and injured others over two years.

According to the ADL findings, Cloudflare serves as an infrastructure provider to sites dedicated to white supremacist accelerationism and platforms that contain antisemitic rhetoric. The company provides these sites with Content Delivery Network services and other infrastructure support that maintains their online presence.

"Cloudflare has failed to meaningfully curtail the proliferation of content designed to stoke hate and violence," said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO and National Director. "By providing the infrastructure that enables hateful messages to reach and influence a wide audience, we believe the Company has failed in its risk oversight responsibility."

The report noted that Cloudflare operates in more than 190 countries and serves millions of internet properties globally, with usage reported on more than 22 percent of all websites worldwide. The ADL found that while Cloudflare has terminated services to problematic sites including The Daily Stormer, 8chan, and Kiwi Farms, these actions occurred only after public crises rather than through consistent policy application.

JLens, which serves as investment advisor to certain Cloudflare shareholders, stated the company's practices contrast with competitors that maintain stricter content policies prohibiting services for websites that promote violence, terrorism, or hate speech.
