And Laura,
This is ONLY the tip of the iceberg.. as long as businesses find they
can get away with things, they will keep pushing the boundaries..
Whether it is Digital Ocean turning a blind eye, or even facilitating
criminal activity, encouraging other hosters to do the same, or putting
up with all the spam/phishing coming out of the 'too big to block' like
gmail and outlook (Anyone else's spam folder almost all those two
companies now? And what about the incredible volume of traffic coming
from Google Groups? If nothing gets done about this, we will see more
companies going with the philosophy of 'if they are not our customer,
who cares'.
But the CloudFlare threat is even greater than we imagine.. Imagine if
ALL traffic goes through them...
Total Anonymity.
How will you do IP reputation at all? How will you report crime? Abuse?
One company to rule them all?
Probably why CloudFlare has run 'spam filtering' up the flag pole,
imagine if all email went through CloudFlare? Aside from privacy
concerns of course, but it almost means that everyone will get only
email from too big to block companies, and loose the ability to
differentiate..
We only have to look at the number of spammers who are moving to Gmail
services.. I guess if they don't spam Gmail customers, they get off scot
free..
Oh, it's a rant day I see.. I better get away from the computer..

Cloudflare is not on the side of good here and never have been.
