Because it's a customer like everyone else, as a service provider you should maintain a neutral stance even if you don't like the service they provide. Just like ISPs shouldn't handle Netflix's traffic any different than traffic from other companies.
- sp332 12y agoISPs will cut off service entirely if a customer is behaving abusively.

- Karunamon 12y agoNo, they will cut off service entirely if the user's behavior threatens their network (usually legally). As an example, ISP's don't drop spammers because they morally hate spam, they drop spammers because their mail servers will get blacklisted and make their customers hate them. A fine distinction, but an important one.
- drzaiusapelord 12y agoKnowingly providing internet infrastructure so others can attack other internet infrastructure is far from "being neutral." ISPs disconnect customers all the time for abuse, yet somehow Cloudflare gets a free pass? Funny how the solution to being DDOS'd by their own customers is, "Buy our product." In the sane world we call this racketeering or protection money.
- newaccountfool 12y agoIf I was Cloudflare I wouldn't go cutting my customers until I had a court order or an official reason to.
