   Why is #Cloudflare bad?

   They sit between the user and 33% of websites[1] now, where they:

   a) get to decide who is served content and who isn't,
   b) decrypt https traffic and see its contents.

   People on dynamic IPs, public WiFi and #Tor users are the main groups affected by (a).

   Everyone is affected by (b): #Privacy #Security

   I'll let unixsheikh explain the details:

     The year is 2026. You cannot visit any major website without a Cloudflare subscription.
