Please elaborate, why exactly is it antisocial? Because Cloudflare decides who can or cant access a users website? When they specifically signed up for my service.

      This is kind of like getting upset with people who go to ATMs because drug dealers transact in cash lol.

      Cloudflare and Big Tech are primary contributors to the impairment and decline of the Internet commons for moats, control, and profit; you are upset at the wrong parties.

  OP literally said that users add their domains, meaning they are explicitly ASKING OP to scrape their websites.

But how does that work? Does Cloudflare force firewall rules for those who choose to use it for their websites? If the tool that does the crawling identifies itself properly, does Cloudflare block it even if users do not tell Cloudflare to block it?
