An almost hour long talk. TL;DR?

  (I work at CF) I usually agree that spending 1h on a talk may be much. But I found this one to be really good. Matthew is both entertaining, and revealing some things that weren't public before. I'd say the 1h is worth it.

    I think the point of a TL;DR is to allow those short in time to still take some points away, or to give an overview and entice to consume the entire thing. I'd say "Cloudflare recommends Cloudflare" is pretty uninformative while a TL;DR isn't.

      Sometimes there isn't a TL;DR. Like explaining cancer or quantum physics in 30 seconds misses most of the important details.

        Sure, but GP seemed to focus on "I know best how to spend your time", whether intended or not. Irksome.

  The talk is about how CF protects free speech by allowing anyone on their network, good or bad. Only a US court order can force them to not deliver content for a specific website. Examples are given how Amazon removed Wikileaks from their servers without court order, how another CDN removed content because they had other clients that didn't like that content etc. I cannot judge how honest it all is, but I'm impressed and do believe their intent. One of the scary things is what happens if Google, Microsoft or Amazon decides to buy them. Or some shady Russian or Chinese investor...

  Cloudflare CEO equates protecting booters with protecting free speech. Definitely has nothing to do with the fact that a healthy market for booters is the best salesman they could ask for.
