Should all companies have to run their own CDN? I agree that Cloudflare having a huge market share is a problem but I don't see how you could outlaw this. Unless every company is buying property and running their own servers they will have to outsource some of the delivery to third-parties. But this is why they have contracts in place to govern how they can use the data. Unless you are huge, or don't need much performance you don't have many reasonable options. Also where would such a law stop? Are AWS and GCP illegal as they can read keys out of customer's VMs?
So I agree it would be great to reduce the number of third parties for many sites. But I don't think this is something that can be fixed just by slapping a bit of regulation on it.
