Theres also the fact that CloudFlare is centralized, and when CF goes down, large portions of the internet goes down. The fact theyre a large US company that can see what anyone on the internet does on any of the many many websites they host (its something like 60% iirc)
So Stallman doesn’t like it because they don’t use open source JavaScript?
I don’t have a problem with Cloudflare not blocking sites based on their belief. When you do that is when you get shut like X where Elon Musk discriminates because you have a different opinion than him. At least Cloudflare just follows the laws and their own rules, instead of just acting as a force for changing the world how they see fit.
It’s part of a lot of shit, so Cloudflare outages can be insanely disruptive. Last time there was one, members go their direct deposits late, which fucked over our poorer members who need the money ASAP.
can some1 point me to fuck_cloudflare?

I mean theres a few reasons.
Theres what Richard Stallman says about CF
