he site wasn't available after its website security and network provider Cloudflare said it would no longer provide services for 8chan.

Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince wrote in a Monday blog post that 8chan had "proven themselves to be lawless and that lawlessness has caused multiple tragic deaths."

8chan, the website where the suspected El Paso gunman posted a hate-filled screed, was down temporarily on Monday after its website security and network provider Cloudflare said it would no longer provide services for the controversial site. 

"8chan has repeatedly proven itself to be a cesspool of hate," Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince said in a Monday blog post.  

8chan, in a tweet posted late Sunday, acknowledged the decision from Cloudflare and said it expected "some downtime in the next 24-48 hours while we find a solution." Several checks of the 8chan website Monday morning showed it was down. But the news website Vice reported Monday that 8chan's administrators said they had secured the services of a provider called BitMitigate and were back online, although not in all parts of the world.
