In a globalized internet, your health institutions websites may run through, or depend on (i.e. 3rd party sites, js dependencies, etc) going through Cloudflare. Or emergency services, or whatever. With enough players you go from a side possibility to a certainty.
- hirako2000 1y agoCloud flare even offers a CDN for npm libraries. it feels like incapable "experts" are placed in position or authority for something like this to happen.
- ipaddr 1y agoWhy would anyone use a cloudflare js cdn for anything but a toy site? Those are bad decisions by developers.
- arielcostas 1y agoThey are, but that doesn't mean it's their fault when websites fail because LaLiga decided to block an entire ISP. That's pure victim blaming. "Oh, what did you expect when you rely on a third party and another company wields the power of blocking anything without a specific court order?"
- gardenhedge 1y agoHuh? It is their fault though. They chose to rely on a third party service that they don't own and had no mitigation for when it failed.
- hirako2000 1y agoSure using a different domain has come to being bad practice for security and performance reasons, nonetheless fetching libs from CDNs including cloudflare remains prevalent. Even if they would make a move that is slower than takedowns.
