Far bigger orgs (i.e. #CloudFlare, gandi.net) yeeted them.
Also there is no right to get IP-transit or peering and that is a good thing!

People who defend the hategrooming scum of #KiwiFarms are just bad.
Regardless if #EFF, #CloudFlare and whoever else is hosting or providing services to said shitsite.
I'm not going to reiterate shit - look it up yourself...

And then tell me your position...

You shou contact @fosstodon and tell them to stop doing that!
But since they use a #RogueISP known as #CloudFlare I'd not put my hope up high...

But since #bots are a problem, I can't just complain about #ValueRemoving #RentSeekers like #CloudFlare without proposing any alternative methods...

If they'd care about #Privacy they'd make their shit #accessible, #SelfHost #ads, not use #Tracking and shit like #CloudFlare...

New research reveals that threat actors are exploiting #Cloudflare Tunnels for covert communication channels from compromised hosts, maintaining persistent access.

Tho can we agree that #CloudFlare are #RentSeekers and that their #Business Model should not exist to begin with?

OFC it's what people do to other people, not that they do it in the :fediverse: or anywhere else.
No in that technology is paywalled and thus the systemic issues are being amplified.
This causes a whole ecosystem of #ValueRemoving #Rentseekers like #CloudFlare to even exist in the first place, which at as #ManInTheMiddle and exert #control by being not only able but willing to block @torproject #Tor users...
It's like #AdblockerBlockers: Their business should be illegal!

Mainly that the business model is full of #ValueRemoving #Rentseekers that sell #DigitalSnakeoil that'll only impress #TechIlliterates that have no idea what they talk about...
But don't take my word for it:

@alexis I consider #CloudFlare a #RogueISP and would literally block their entire AS alongside all the #GAFAMs simply because they don't react to proper abuse reports and only yeeted KiwiFarms once customers canceled contracts in droves...

Seriously there is no legitimate reason to use CloudFlare...
They are neither good nor cheap...
