      great article, and I had no idea that happened to Brian Krebs, of all people! o.O

      I do think the EFF makes a good point though, and I think personally I tend to be biased towards content neutrality over moderation (at least, more strongly the larger the platform is, and Cloudflare is very large). Not to the point of Xitter, obviously, but I think there’s at least a reasonable argument for Cloudflare in this case.


      that said, after some searching, I did find the following two articles, and I find their arguments against Cloudflare very compelling:

      • https://www.devever.net/~hl/cloudflare
      • http://cryto.net/~joepie91/blog/2016/07/14/cloudflare-we-have-a-problem/

      Fortunately I’m already using end-to-end SSL certs via Caddy, but now I’m considering just moving off Cloudflare entirely and instead providing regular backups to Internet Archive–most of the stuff I host is entirely static and very lightweight.
