when connected health device cause a death I guess

  No really.... more so when some giant multinational that is bribing (lobbying is just legalized bribes, lets use the real word for it) the politicians start to loose money. Then an exception will be made for them, and they will continue. What they really want is for Cloudflare and others to give in and police it for them.

  What kind of health devices require reliable internet connection to prevent death?

    Certain medical devices have remote monitoring. You won't die without internet, but your doctor might not receive updates from the device.

  I sure hope connected health device makers include some generous tolerance for network outages.

Eh, if they block things when every sport or any movie is being shown, it will be reliable. Reliably blocked. :P

There was a case two weeks ago about someone unable to locate their missing parent with a tracking application (I'm assuming the parent has some sort of dementia) because the application could not connect to the servers.

I am pretty sure Telefónica will tell people they can just switch to their own services. Telefonica has a business branch that offer some services similar to cloudflares ones like CDN, DDOS Protection, etc...There is a huge conflict of interest here to use copyright law to make cloudflare and other competitors customer's life as crappy and unusable as they can.

  Copyright has been OP for too long. Its time we started whittling it back.
