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?

But do they have “canaries” that allow the user to verify they are indeed doing that?
Yes they have a canary entry on their transparency reports.
