Why is Cloudflare bad for the internet?


The reason why I can’t stand LLMs is because they congratulate me before replying to anything I say. This could be a good thing.


AI has money and Mozilla needs it. Are you going to pay for Firefox development?


Cloudflare blocks VPNs at the request of whoever is running the server. There are tons of websites running on Cloudflare that work with VPNs.
Cloudflare can’t be forced to censor anything because CDNs are not actually needed by the internet, they’re just nice to have. The only place where they could actually do anything is in the registrar business, where any foul play would just result in de-accreditation by ICANN.
AWS, Azure, and Oracle do have too much power over the internet, but that’s a different scenario.
