It seems to be part of the American ethos that we distrust when a company becomes too successful or gains too large a share of a market. Is Cloudflare well positioned to be more evil than Facebook and Google combines? Maybe. Is it a service we keep using because it’s a free/inexpensive way to insulate small but popular blogs and websites from shared hosting providers demanding we upgrade To VPS or leave because of the traffic we’re getting? Absolutely! If we go into the agreement KNOWING we’re enabling a MITM situation — because Cloudflare doesn’t work otherwise — then we can make intelligent decisions about what content goes over that MITM and what our fallback plan would be if even Cloudflare tells us to go away.
