  How is this a footgun? Big Tech will protect Big Tech, it's only an advantage to have a service that will bend to their will. The centralization is the point.

    Everyone opted to use Cloudflare, not just big tech. They now control much of the internet in a way that any nation state could only dream of.

    It sits between millions of users and the websites they desire to visit, and if they're on the right network using the right browser, they won't even know it. It's #24 on this list https://companiesmarketcap.com/software/largest-software-companies-by-market-cap/ https://companiesmarketcap.com/software/largest-software-com... so I'd say it's big tech.
