That is a lot of words to not answer the question that was actually asked. Why are you so insistent that no one should be interested in whether a town bans Flock cameras and how the proponents of those cameras react? Why are you so invested

The issue is that your “compared to other things” essentially requires CloudFlare to be incompetent which, sure, that could be a thing. But then there are bigger problems. None of your concerns hold up to scrutiny. Using lava lamps instead

I don’t really care about whether you are “qualified” by your criteria, because I don’t hold your view that there is some specific level of education that allows one to hold and express an opinion. My point was more to point out some potent

I’m not willing to check all the pages on archive.org but for sure a month ago they had a big “Basic Free” tile in the plan comparison. Now it’s just Premium and Family. They are definitely downplaying the ability to use it for free. https

Sorry, is there evidence for this? I don’t have any trouble believing that there is some slice of poor people that this is true about. But I kind of doubt that holds in general.
