I’ve always said. It’s not good that cloudfare (or any single entity) “owns” half the internet.
For my self hosted stuff I refuse to use their services. I prefer to invest a little more time securing it from my side instead of giving them more control over internet.

Humm… Who are telling this to?

And if you’re talking to citizens, how about labor organization, revolts, resistance?
Either way, that looks awfully reductive
