Cloudflare kills.

[oshwm]

Just so long as the CEO of Cloudflare isnt the same guy who worked with the US DoD to set up Projwct Honeypot then we're all good right? oh, right.

Cloudflare handles at least 4% of web traffic according to their own marketing, thats pretty useful if you want to create a single place to collate details of someone's web activities across multie sites.

It's not as if many so-called activist or privacy protecting websites sit behind Cloudflare's protective shield though right? oh, right.

Cloudflare, Akamai et al are massive anti-privacy and anti-security services that put users safety at risk because the websites they cache are too cheap to do the job themselves.

What is also important is that the web caching services may have no legal responsibility to protect user data because there is no direct contract between them and the end user.

They are the greatest argument move the web to a distributed, encrypted model.
