It's still absurd to me.

- We want everyone to ban it (because that's the ethical way). But government banning it is not okay.
- Government enforcing the ban is not okay. But CloudFlare enforcing it is okay.
I don't think CloudFlare (or any company) is equipped to make this kind of judgement. The process would be secretive and biased.
Government is much better equipped, and the process would be more open.
That's why I would be more comfortable with government taking the lead on this kind of judgement.
I guess we're just gonna agree to disagree on this one.
> you can host a CDN outside of US jurisdiction if you really want.
I'd say outside of US is really out of the scope here. We don't really have much power to enforce anything outside US.
If we're gonna expand our scope to outside of US, there will many many more horrendous things to discuss. And the discussion would never end.

Maybe - I tend to think governments have a harder time with rapidly changing scenarios, as in privacy issues in the tech world - but the flip side of that is there's little recourse if the process makes a bad decision. Both companies and government are susceptible to bad decisions. I can switch CDN providers if one makes a stupid call. Switching governments is far less doable.
