If you want to get into semantics, consider that Congress or Parliament (or whatever) are supposed to be that bilateral conversation that formulates policies for police to enforce. So in that respect, you could say they too are "policing" like OP is here.
There is no "enforcement" component to what cloudflare is doing. You can either use it or don't.
Now, you might say children are oppressed when their parents enforce these restrictions on them, but I'd say back that my children live under an oppressive government (me). They don't have the requisite life experience to participate in a high-stakes decision making democracy yet.
- threatofrain 7y ago> Don’t use it. Problem solved. You’re being a moral policeman too. I was just talking about you, and what I see as "No, _you_ are the moral policeman." ddevault is going to morally police you? With HN comments? Like having a conversation with the UK police, or Congress making laws?
