Not a question of money. If i recall, all of these are as easy to reach for governments as cloudfare itself. Especially with the threat of KYC. Would be happy to be wrong here though.
- swores 3y ago"If a government decides they want you offline" is quite a big difference from the original "Once you get kicked off Cloudfare, thats mostly it for you".
- cf141q5325 3y agoInitial post was about controlling public discourse. Thats something where the attackers are governments. Sorry if the wording was misleading.
- anamexis 3y agoHow is DDOS protection the issue then? Isn’t the issue just DDOS?
- cf141q5325 3y agoSomebody else asked this but deleted before i could respond, so i am glad you asked. Centralized DDOS protection and DDOS seem to be two sides of the same coin, so i dont understand what the distinction would entail. edit: You could argue that DDOS is an equal opportunity tool, while the threat of getting kicked off cloudflare is reserved for a selected few. So the difference would be which is more at threat of getting exploited. Hope that helps.
