They aren't a passthrough, though. That wouldn't be a valuable service. They're providing a service to criminals that assists them in fraud, and refusing to take any action when notified. It adds hours or days to a takedown process. It's like they're standing outside the mall handing the bike thieves branded hacksaws.
We've had better luck getting random Moldovan ISPs to shut down service than we've had in getting CloudFlare to give a damn.
- lovethevoid 2y agoThey are quite literally a MITM passthrough. The example you used doesn't make any sense either, it would be more like them handing everyone hacksaws and you getting mad at them over the fact some people are using them for bad things. Again, get a court order and they'll take action. They are legally required to. Random Moldovan ISPs don't operate at the scale CF does, no wonder they were faster. Probably also easier to bribe as well ;)
- janc_ 2y agoThe fact that they block some people from accessing the websites behind their service negates their claims to be "just a passthrough"…
- Dylan16807 2y agoOkay, their main service is a passthrough with a sprinkle of blocking on top. GGP is asking for more blocking, so I don't think they mind that particular reason.
