Is Cloudflare here acting in an inappropriate manner?
If the poster had instead been hosted by any regular
host in the US, Dreamhost, AWS, Squarespace?
Would they most likely do the same?
Is Cloudflare in this instance acting a midle layer between
the actual hosting entity and the Internet?
Or is Cloudflare the hosting company as well?
I do know that Cloudflare have at times done more for some of
their users I would not expet them to fight a court order
evertime they recieve one.
- emilstahl 2y agoNo, Cloudflare is not acting inappropriately at all. This is standard industry practice, not just in the U.S., but also in Europe and the UK. Hosting providers, telcos, social media platforms, and other similar entities generally comply with court orders or subpoenas directed at their customers. It’s uncommon for these companies to challenge such orders unless there’s a very compelling legal reason to do so - i.e. some crazy demand.
