I posted a suggestion a few days ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18022586 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18022586 ) that cloudflare start to do this in order to protect itself and it's users. With so many censoring rules popping up in different countries, a centralized service could easily be forced to eliminate tons of information. right to be forgotten, not just from host country, but whole planet. GDPR. dmca, things that are fobidden in Asia, things that are to be blocked in and around Indonesia and such. When a small group of trolls uses other people's policies to harass and deplatform women because they have issues with cleavage ( https://www.engadget.com/2018/09/14/paypal-ban-asmr-sound-art-therapy/ https://www.engadget.com/2018/09/14/paypal-ban-asmr-sound-ar... ) - it should be obvious that more and more of these kinds of censor those you don't like by using the policies of others is only going to grow. Especially as more and more places are developing more censoring policies, and people are sharing methods for removing / de-platforming. (they came for Alex Jones, and we kept using paypal, then they came for girls not dressed in Burkas and most still used payal, then they came for..) The big internet companies are being used against the smaller groups of people all over the world. Cloudflare ordered to give customer location data recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18039208 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18039208 Google and others have been forced to do the same, and even though some big G and Fbook occasionally try to deny some of the data sharing, they did not stop SESTA, instead looking to use these things as excuses / pass the blame. What was the case where Msoft had to drop the appeals about sharing data from computers in other countries with the US?, as a new law was made, cloud-sharing or something like that? Big G working on tracking and auto censoring for China and other places. Facebook, Instagram having to rush censoring in areas around the world. Canada and the US have some of these things in the bargaining for the NAFTA re-agreement I think as well. This is all happening much faster then most people realize I think, the ramifications have yet to understood. Bifurcation, or divarication - it's getting split up much more than just in two. Sadly the giants like Google and Cloudflare are being used as the largest hammers, or may be biggest saws to cut up and split up the worlds knowledge. These are interesting times indeed.
