          Centralization, mostly, but also their hands-off approach to most fascist content.

            I get the centralization concerns, but I would think that’s on the consumer since there are other options. As for the fascist content, as another commenter said, they could risk their safe harbor if they started stated regulating content that they weren’t legally required to regulate.

            Just my thoughts.

            They kind of have to be hands off or risk losing safe harbor protections.

          That would be terrible for a lot of people as they are the only company providing such services that doesn’t charge for traffic.

            They can use web.archive.org as a cdn(I do that to cloudflare websites). But honestly, cloudflare or not, the internet is broken.

              Using archive.org as a CDN at the scale of Cloudflare would be an immediate death sentence for archive.org.

                just take a snapshot of your website… then make all links to your website link to that snapshot, and turn your server off.

                  Oh, well, it’s okay if it suits for you. Just not at all an alternative to cloudflare.

                    I have an alternative to cloudflare, it’s sitting in my living room and it’s called a raspberry pi.
