+- The election system is broken in terms of privacy. Citizens are forced to decide: 1) give up the right to vote, or 2) share their physical address with the state, who will then publish it for anyone to access. On top of that, 8 states now force all voters to share the public info + their SSN or DL with CloudFlare Inc.I think Alaska is the only state sensible enough to give voters a way to keep their physical address private. by [aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104304629350973064)

+- I read that article w/ in mind (esp. ). It's implied: rebels are most likely someone w/nothing to lose. OTOH, some ppl fail to rebel for that very same reason. E.g. a non- user assumes nothing is lost by patronizing CloudFlare sites.What drives forward fights against an oppressive society is a rival vision – a vision of equality, liberty and justice, and a sense that these should be defended, whatever the consequences.Rival visions are in short supply. by [aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104252347476274862)

+- they've censored LGBT resources under sexual content with their DNS scheme, they harass tor users with captchas to access almost all their websites by default, which pins tracking information to you in an attempt to deanonymize you (Its s Google Captcha, what do you expect). They've consolidated a large part of the web and its traffic under their control and undermine the idea that encrypted web connections should be going directly to a site, untampered with.So if you're a large company with a stranglehold on internet traffic, the ability to track users, and view the unencrypted contents of their connections, what do you think is an obvious way to profit?Don't trust CloudFlare. You don't need another entity that you invest ISP-levels of blind faith in.The following blogposts outline the general technical issues with them and similar services outside their recent homophobic streak.

+- You oppose Google & Amazon at least in part due to their attacks on privacy.  Yet, you're in CloudFlare's privacy-abusing walledgarden yourself. You should ditch mastodon.social and find a node that respects your values. by @[aktivismoEstasMiaLuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/103591534339447704)
+- I'm tired of people going on about Cloudflare. It's not a normal tired either. It's a please get the fuck out of my face if you're going to say one more word because I am just done. A friend of mine said I was a shit service provider because I would rather stop running everything than put my applications behind a MITM and compromise user privacy. by @[amolith](https://masto.nixnet.xyz/@amolith/103650166871589343)
+- Würde ich gerne, aber change.org lässt mich nicht auf die Webseite, weil ich mich momentan im Netz der Leaseweb Deutschland GmbH befinde (screenshot:  ASN  28753). change.org sollte dringend ihren Server konfigurieren oder besser noch den Hoster Clownflare wechseln. by @[Wolfram](https://norden.social/@Wolfram/103608344157032468)
+- Today first I successfully did a search on opensubtitles.org with Firefox and noticed that this site uses CloudFlare. Then later on I tried to do a search on opensubtitles.org with the Tor browser. I got the Google ReCaptcha, and after solving that for more than 10 to 15 times, where it seemed to give me access a few times, I was still not able to perform a search at all (meh) :_catsad: When will people realize that the free of charge for 1 website DDOS protection by CloudFlare is not at all a cool and free option to choose for. It is more like selling your soul and poisoning the Internet. Also : A few months ago I had to use the CloudFlare web admin interface for a friend. I added a subdomain for an admin login page for the website of my friend. Then I continued working on the site and suddenly noticed in the logs that the brand new subdomain was visited by several different ones, including a tor node. At first I got confused by it, and I found it very unpleasant, but in the end my conclusion is that CloudFlare is just dodgy. I hope that affordable CDN and DDOS protection alternatives will grow and vanish CloudFlare in the end. by @[Ajz](https://mastodon.host/@Ajz)
+- If you're at a small scale, why would you pretend you need the services that CloudFlare provides in the first place? I understand that people watching MSM and have little knowledge of IT will think that everyone in the world is constantly being DDoSed every time they make a post on their blog, but that's just not the case.  by @[fglt](https://soc.fglt.nl/objects/0e1fe9a1-1099-4091-899b-69130f309a6e)
+-  I understand the marketing team has a lot of other functionalities that you can list in order to make it look less bad, but you're still doing all your users a massive disservice by employing CloudFlare inbetween them and your service. No matter how many cool features you think you're getting for gratis, you're still handing all your customer data to them, essentially through having them become the middle man of the man in the middle scheme. Paying for that service is even more ridiculous from any sane perspective.  by @[fglt](https://soc.fglt.nl/objects/e3a57b9a-a80d-4d2b-a44f-de8b166dba00)
+- If you had ever trusted CloudFlare to work in the interests of it's customers, you were a fool to begin with.  by @[fglt](https://soc.fglt.nl/objects/c91371f7-2a56-4c5f-b5b1-1e1942a6e953)
+- Cloudflare and Google captcha are the worst enemies of tor. by @[lexa](https://mstdn.io/@lexa/103356277680824722)
+- BTW, it doesn't matter who your CA is, the tunnel between outsiders & CF's site always terminates at CF.  So, for example, if you were a mastodon.social user, CF would see your username & unhashed pw full stop. by @[resist1984](https://social.privacytools.io/@resist1984/103359038780017782)
+- CloudFlare blocks from the reader's side, not the author.  If Alice blogs on a CF site then Bob is blocked from reading it if CF objects to Bob's IP address-browser pair.  And that's not theoretical -- it's certain. CF dictates who can reach who.  CF also pushes surveillanceCapitalism via a forced Google-served CAPTCHA (depending on IP-browser pair).  Using a CF service gives them power.  Twentyfivebux unwittingly supports centralization & empowers CF by using mastodon.social. by @[resist1984](https://social.privacytools.io/@resist1984/103358978513641848)
+- Sure there are many instances.  Some are respecting of freedom & privacy, and some are not.  CloudFlare is an abuser of privacy & netneutrality.  You've specifically endorsed a CF node (mastodon.social). As a privacy foundation, you should know better and you should set a better example. by @[resist1984](https://social.privacytools.io/@resist1984/103359630910309671)
+-  CloudFlare sites like mastodon.social are profoundly stupid choices to endorse. Even if you neglect the Tor hostility & VPN weakness, CF still sees all traffic.  Also, using CF feeds a privacy abuser financially, which works against your alleged cause.  by @[resist1984](https://social.privacytools.io/@resist1984/103359717636003316)
+- I'm more concerned with Clouflare's dominance (~75% of high-traffic websites on internet) regarding caching HTTPS in exchange for website owners private keys (in effect silently compromising  all visitors to said sites as well). After digging into Cloudbleed and the technical solution at Cloudflare making this security bug possible, along with their transparency  (www.cloudflare.com/transparency/), it became apparent that this is the biggest orchestrated HTTPS weakness out there serving US government. by @[modrobert](https://qoto.org/@modrobert/103349511813674970)

+- I am depressed. I'm seeing so many fantastic open source projects using subpar services like Cloudflare and Digital Ocean bEcAuSe MaRkEtInG and they don't realise what kind of ecosystem they're buying into. by @[amolith](https://masto.nixnet.xyz/@amolith/103343274100985996)
+- On a more serious note, I know a lot of people believe using Cloudflare automagically makes their site more secure because of the green lock indicating that fact. I can understand it more for people using crappy webhosts that you can't get certs from Let's Encrypt with. For people who run their own servers, there is no excuse for putting CF in the middle and giving them access to all their users' traffic. It's just stupid. by @[amolith](https://masto.nixnet.xyz/@amolith/103315936594282075)
+- This repo outlines all the reasons I would give in greater detail than I have time to go into. I've contributed a bit but the maintainers do a fantastic of keeping it very up-to-date with the current situation by @[amolith](https://masto.nixnet.xyz/@amolith/103315947408760507)

+- Congress has put publically funded literature under  CreativeCommons licensing (when CC's license text sends ppl to CloudFlare's walledgarden).  Then he reports this using sparcopen.org, a CloudFlare site. It should have been publicDomain.  Public funding = public domain. This is just layers of hypocrisy. by @[batalanto](https://todon.nl/@batalanto/103326880978571285)

+- Security: every site that uses it, Cloudflare is a proxy that intercepts all the traffic. It can therefore correlate individual user traffic across every site that uses/embeds cloudflare site/resources. Single point of security failure, from a global surveillance point of view. Usability: If you're a Tor user, it makes a huge part of the Internet unbearable because it constantly injects captchas to view sites every couple minutes, to block abuse. by @[shitposter](https://shitposter.club/notice/389221)

+- Ich betreibe gleich seit fast 14 Jahren eigene Server und hab noch keinen Grund dafür finden können, sie komplett hinter einen Proxy von Cloudflare zu stellen. Ganz ehrlich...

+- Services like CloudFlare are really nice with PatriotAct and NSA. USHackers whatawonderfulworld. CloudFlare create SSL certificates  for sites they cache.

+- It's because cloudflare actively spies on traffic going through it, so any service connected to it is compromised by default.

+- Really disappointed and a little disgusted by the Matrix team. Putting Cloudflare spyware on their main instance, forcing every user to either go through the malicious wall or to use a homeserver that doesn't federate with matrix.org thus cutting itself off from just about everything. Will be giving XMPP a go today. Wonder if that community has even the tiniest bit of respect for users. by @[OTheB](https://mastodon.technology/@OTheB/102456355379841384)

+- Ich nutz hauptsächlich Tor. Zwar heuchelt Cloudflare Tor-Freundlich zu sein, z.B. mit eigener Onion Adresse. Aber standardmäßig blocken die Tor Verbindungen, sofern man sie nicht freigibt.
+- Zudem empfinde ich es nicht gerade als Datenschutzfreundlich, die Cloudflare Proxy Server zu nutzen. Vor allem, da Cloudflare dem Patriot Act untersteht. by @[kromonos](https://metalhead.club/@kromonos/102440347862158580)

+- angesprochen sollten auch nur jene werden, die keine Ahnung haben, aber dann so tun, als hätten sie sie. IT Blogger, die Anleitungen dazu bringen, wie man die Tor Exit Knoten Liste herunter lädt um die IP Adressen dann zu blockieren. Weil CloudFlare ja gesagt hat.
