CloudFlare is hosting sites which, according to claims in this article, violate Russian law. CloudFlare is not responding to legal notices from the Russian government (or is not complying with the demands in these notices).
It sounds like they're warning website operators that they will be blocking access to CloudFlare in the future, and that operators should move sites to local hosting providers who comply with local Russian laws.
- crashandburn4 13y agoI guess I don't understand this, I thought cloudflare was just a cdn and put up static versions of sites when sites were under DDOS (along with DDOS mitigation techniques), I didn't think they hosted sites themselves? am I missing the point or do they host or act as an intermediary for some websites or something similar? EDIT: found this post which answers my question (obfuscated whois records is the problem russia has with it): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7572336 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7572336
- huxley 13y agoWHOIS records come from the registrar not Cloudflare, perhaps they mean obfuscated traceroutes?
