For example, "we will serve anyone who will pay, as long as we don't break the law in doing so". That seems easy enough to do, I'd say. If you can't get a service provider to tell you in clear terms under what circumstances they may cut you off, they're not a provider you should rely on.
- arp242 4y agoThat would be situation one from the earlier comment, and would end with "Cloudflare are the Nazi fascists of the internet!" from some people. It's also what the Cloudflare policy is, AFAIK, barring a few notable extreme exceptions which can be counted on one hand – a miniscule portion of their user base. I think it's too strong to say "they're not a provider you should rely on".
- deadbeeves 4y agoIf there are exceptions then they're not consistent.
- arp242 4y agoThat's just a boring platitude and doesn't contribute anything to any conversation. Things are complex and nuanced.
- deadbeeves 4y agoNo. If Cloudflare's policy really is that they'll service anyone, and then they don't, that's called hypocrisy. Their actions are incongruent with their statements. There's no nuance that needs to be considered to criticize that behavior. They could just as easily be up-front: "we'll service anyone as long as it's convenient to us", or whatever condition they secretly hold.
