A new form of state-level internet filtering that restricts data flow is disrupting access to large portions of the global web for Russian citizens. Cloudflare, the world leader in DDoS protection and high-traffic load management, is being targeted by these new data caps, which appear designed to push users toward Russian-controlled services. Meanwhile, the move leaves Russian businesses dangerously exposed.

What are you even talking about?

cloudflare is a symptom of the corporatization of the internet.

they goals are counter to the goals of the internet to be a distributed repository of communities and information.

CF not only unifies all the communications through their services, which can cause worldwide outages (happens literally every year), but collects and tracks users across all other network requests.

CF is anti-privacy and pro-corporate interests.
