Replying to my own comment (I'm too late to edit it). My comment is about that concept in general, not about Cloudflare in particular. I don't pretend to know and won't judge Cloudflare based on one sentence taken out of context. For all I know they are excellent members of the community; in fact they could do be doing good things behind the scenes without publicizing it, which might be wise if they are as exposed to China as other commenters say.
