And there is truth to be afraid of Cloudflare. However, that is somewhat of "an appeal to hypocrisy". The obvious difference is that Google harvests all the data and usage and combines it with other data to profile all of your site's visitors. Cloudflare is not in that market, and even if they were they don't have the other pieces to combine it with. But, even leaving that out, Google did its best big bully act to show how much they don't care about you with their CDN, which is totally different than Cloudflare: They required you to modify your site - and even make it slower with heavy opaque scripts - so that they have more control than you do, they abused their search monopoly and the browser monopoly to force you onto their CDN and hurt competing CDNs, they set the guidelines of what resources and how you can send through the CDN (vs CF)...
