> any site using that will have URLs containing 'camel' blocked What engineer at cloudflare thought this was a good resolution?

  I doubt the system is that simple. No one wrote a rule saying `if url.contains("camel") then block()` it's probably an unintended side-effect

    If this is a bet, I'll happily take the other side and give you 4:1 on it.

      I think you can include advertising/privacy block lists in that vein too, although that allows for the users to locally-correct any issues.

    Judging by previous outages it was probably a poorly tested overcomplicated regex which matched to much.
