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.
