Is Cloudflare known as a data thieving company? I didn't have that association with them yet. They're not really in the data selling business, are they?

- hansel_der 4y agothey are in the business of collecting data and selling insights. cdn is just a means to an end
- scrollaway 4y agoOh stop, already. Cloudflare isn't in the "business of selling insights". They make their money from enterprise sales of their various network products. They're in the business of competing with AWS and are pretty damn good at it, too.
- wintermutestwin 4y agoI said "a VPN service fronted by a data thieving company" and I misspoke - I should have said "backed" instead of "fronted." AFAIK Cloudflare isn't a data thief (yet). If (when) they decide to be, they will have access to quite a lot at the rate they are going. At this point, how can we trust that any public company won't eventually monetize user data?
