      Did you even look at the article or did you see “Cloud flare” in the title and immediately grabbed your pitchfork?

      The article is outlining a situation where Cloudflare is advocating to maintain privacy.

        …but why? What do they gain from it?

          Business, the core of their business model over any other CDN is that steadfast privacy that they will only give information when it’s mandated by a court order

            But do they have “canaries” that allow the user to verify they are indeed doing that?

        This haves nothing to do with the article. Cloudflare overall haves too much power on the Internet. On August 31st 2022, Matthew Prince (Cloudflare’s CEO) released a statement defending his role as a service provider and not a regulatory body. But 3 days later, Cloudflare blocks a website called Kiwifarms. You maybe thinking, “Wait, that goes against his first statement he made.”. You’re right. I ask you, do you want a company like that to have so much power over the Internet?
