It's amazing how you can redeclare the meaning of words and distort reality just to fit your narrative. Stripping encryption implies that there was, at some point, some sort of encryption between the browser and the website itself, which there never ever was. In the Cloudflare architecture the browser never ever interacts with the website, always with the Cloudflare servers. When you've got the small lock, it never implied that you were connecting to the website, but always that you were connecting to what lies behind the domain name, which is the Cloudflare servers. As an additional point, the website owner has always agreed to use this architecture; they're not somehow victim of some kind of attack from a spooky middleman. They ask (heck, some of them even pay) for it. It is part of the way they want to serve content. You should tone down the sentimental analysis and keep to the facts. Cloudflare is a reverse proxy service the website owner uses; it is part of their infrastructure.
