American Internet infrastructure company Cloudflare is pushing back against increasing calls to broaden pirate site blocking in the EU. The company notes that since similar efforts in Spain and Italy have resulted in extensive collateral damage, there’s a need for more transparency and constructive collaboration on the anti-piracy front. Cloudflare also wants rightsholders to pay for their overblocking mistakes.
TLDR version: Cloudflare want to be the reverse proxy for the entire fucking internet but don’t want deal with the bullshit they should’ve seen a mile away.
Let 'em continue having to block their own IP addresses then maybe the wider internet will realize the need for more diversification in CDNs.
Yes, I know I’m posting in c/Piracy, but anarchy is fun too and I really want to see Cloudflare have it’s wings clipped.
