    They shouldn’t care. Their job is not to control the internet. It’s to provide routing and content delivery.

    Responding to legal takedown notices is as far as they should go, and in a better system, would be as far as they’re legally allowed to go.

      Exactly. In fact, I’d prefer for services like Cloudflare to not know much of anything about their customers, aside from whether they’re legally allowed to use the service.

        Yeah, the biggest threat they pose is how many domains they see everything from.

        Though they did use it well with that JS supply chain bullshit a month or two ago (and equally importantly, explicitly acknowledged in their announcement that it was an extraordinary measure and not something they wanted to make a routine thing).

        Same reason why they serve Lemmy instances despite illegal content on Lemmy: section 230 of the DMCA
