The current state of affairs is that cloudflare is that huge organization that arbitrarily censors websites without a mechanism for appeal or legal process. Cloudflare actively removes your ability to decide for yourself which websites and systems you want to connect to by obscuring their sources. Without Cloudflare I could decide for myself that I want to block certain networks to connect to my networks. Cloudflare hiding the origin of these networks along with it's size in the market make Cloudflare exactly that huge organization.

You're talking about more than a single digit number of sites ever, right? > Cloudflare actively removes your ability to decide for yourself which websites and systems you want to connect to by obscuring their sources. What, you look up the ASN of sites before you decide if you want to connect to them? That ability is very unimportant at best. And any CDN or cloud host does the same kind of source-obscuring for servers. > Without Cloudflare I could decide for myself that I want to block certain networks to connect to my networks. How are they stopping you from filtering incoming connections? By running a VPN? I'm pro-VPN.
