Not sure how you came to that conclusion from what I said. What I am saying is that in the long run it will be impossible to rely on companies like Cloudflare for security when it comes to users. Over time all services will for security reasons need to either directly or indirectly authenticate all their users. That does not mean that each users identity is provided to each consumer.
The open Internet is already dead thanks to Cloudflare, Akamai etc. A lot of European companies use theses services to block China, Russia, TOR, VPN-services and so on.
- poisonborz 5y agoIt just alluded to an internet strictly divided between "verified" single users (persons, regardless if per service) and everyone else (assumed as malicious by default) as a total and unavoidable path. I think the nature of the internet necessitates temporary, limited gatekeepers like CloudFlare, but as long as the legal status and technology keeps maintaining moving targets (like how you can fake your way out with a dedicated ip vpn, or just remain within tor network) this isn't too much of an issue. Anonimity+trust will never be a fully solved problem, and as long as a comfortable level is achievable between willing parties, the status quo remains.
