Whenever a site starts using #Clouldflare as an attack response, they almost never mention it or the consequences. When pressed about it, the “I’m under attack” PR move is just an excuse/cover for action. A reluctant CF user should take the opportunity to fully inform users.. have statements like “we are using CF under protest & are exploring alternatives; plz be aware that your usernames, passwords, DMs will all be visible to Cloudflare Inc. until we recover, and some segments of readers will be unable to read your posts”.. etc.
In any case, I’m grateful that it was at least announced to users & that new registrants may also get the msg. It’s a shame most users don’t really grasp the consequences.
