```

```
I say it's a bad idea to pimp CloudFlare sites and expect such repressions to go unchallenged.
Activism is a duty & ethics trumps netiquette.
Posting original information exclusively on onion sites
is like affirmative action for the repressed Tor community.
Correcting the wrongs of CloudFlare entails some unfair discrimination against clearnet users.

"Self-hosting is generally a good idea, but it doesn't obviate the problem. When Jitsi jails their resources in CloudFlare, resources that a self-hoster needs are out of reach for some and others take a privacy blow. Bigbluebutton.org seems like a decent alternative to Jitsi, no?" ([aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104745596953311521))
"Jitsi also has issues, like being a privacy-abusing CloudFlare site. So I'm glad to hear about I've also heard is decent (open source non-profit)." ([aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104745069754657873))
"Signal is not a good thing to be like: It's a poor standard of privacy and ethics, and jitsi seems to be lousy too (jitsi.org is a CloudFlare site)." ([aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104745031120582312))
"tomanthony is a CloudFlare site. Plz try not to send ppl to CloudFlare's walledgarden of privacy abuse to read about privacy abuses." ([aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104745006960019425))
"The CSO of CloudFlare has been caught trying to cover up an Uber data breach by paying $100k to hackers for silence" ([aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104741720064729988))
"you have no choice but to agree with the facts - unless you have counter facts. OWS Signal subjects users to a variety of surveillance capitalist mechanisms by forcing phone number registration & pushing Google Playstore (while hiding & discouraging apk downloads).. pushing CloudFlare.. financing Amazon.. working for Facebook." ([resist1984](https://social.privacytools.io/@resist1984/104740432451902572))
"we need a "public money = public access" movement similar to the publicMoneyPublicCode movement. Governments should not be jailing public resources in the private WalledGarden of CloudFlare. Let's get this movement in motion as the orange man gets sacked. PublicMoneyPublicAccess" ([aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104721770588352695))
"the lulu.com link is a bad one to plug because it's a CloudFlare site. Visiting the InternetArchive of it is also useless in this case because it's just a blank page:" ([resist1984](https://social.privacytools.io/@resist1984/104689562910400950))
"i think it's key to know your audience. If the audience cares about corporations controlling ppl's lives, then stress the control-freakish aspects of CloudFlare like loss of netneutrality. If the audience is fine with corporate control, then stress CloudFlare's incompetence & stress the security detriment of having a single global centralized point of failure." ([batalanto](https://todon.nl/@batalanto/104660140613165269))
"Your premise that corporate-run svcs are equal is quite far from what I find. "Open access" is central to P2Pf's advocacy. CloudFlare is the single most destructive force to open access. Consider Amazon, for example. As evil as it is, AWS does not attack open access. CF does. So to paint all corporations the same through the lense of P2Pf's values is to cloud the problem." ([batalanto](https://todon.nl/@batalanto/104659761329232101))
"I believe getting our own house in order is a crtical first step. It's paramount for projects that exist for social justice pursuant to a free and open Internet to avoid CloudFlare themselves. It's not just a moral principle-- there's a practical problem when the operations of a social mission exclude their own advocates from access." ([batalanto](https://todon.nl/@batalanto/104653955377950930))
"spot on bob. CloudFlare has the most power, it's far too much, and unlike other tech giants ( Amazon), CF abuses their power to a perverse extent. Strypey, although I'd like to see CloudFlare wiped off the planet entirely, I'm particularly disturbed when those on a social mission that contradicts CF use CF for their mission. The hypocrisy is inexcusable & needs a spotlight of shame" ([batalanto](https://todon.nl/@batalanto/104653928066889916))
"gitlab.com used to be a nice place. But it feels really hostile these days. If you attempt to preserve a tiny bit of privacy by using Tor, they won't even let you take a look at public projects. Instead they'll harass you with CloudFlare captcha which is requiring JavaScript and trying to force users to build ML training data. (btw. it still works to fight hcaptcha by giving partially wrong answers)" ([uniq](https://chaos.social/@uniq/104652792387203024))
"ACM has been denying open public access to scientific papers anyway. Tor users are blocked because ACM has jailed their host in CloudFlare's walled garden: The ACM site is also set to give a 302 error to the InternetArchive waybackMachine. Bit embarrassing for ACM to fail at such a simple task." ([aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104615397495442862))
"that article about privacy happens to be a privacy abusing CloudFlare site. And if you try to circumvent CF by going to it's a 404 error." ([aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104614750310878050))
"Kodi has several ethical problems. Apart from using Github, Kodi.tv is a CloudFlare site, littered with Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc. And they ask for donations using Paypal, Patreon, & Liberapay." ([resist1984](https://social.privacytools.io/@resist1984/104610670459183815))
"villages.io & freedomsponsors.org avoid CloudFlare (and thus avoid the gamble of giving CF your personal & financial info), but they're a bit different. is an unvetted list of crowdfunding services (research needed)" ([aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104581662343812911))
"Liberapay is a bad recommendation. That site is centralized in the privacy abusing walled garden of CloudFlare, plus they host on Amazon. I would not expect FediFollows to suggest a needlessly centralized service, in general." ([aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104581602412163813))
"CloudFlare is evil. Let's be clear: the evil is not in business success. The evil is in their lies and deceptions, their surveillance capitalist business model, and their abuse of power in dictating the tools that may users use to protect their privacy. It's an injustice to make excuses for CF & for CF's users." ([aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104564791822534415))
"CloudFlare is the single biggest attack on the decentralized web. They could not possibly do enough w/IPFS to undo the collossal harm of centralizing over 10% of the web then abusing that power by dictating how people access the web." ([aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104564090918792327))
"well news.inditoot.com is a CloudFlare site so I have to nix that. dev.lemmy & feddit are censorship nazis, gix.uk is dead, inditoot is CF'd.. what else is there?" ([aktivismoestasmialuo](https://activism.openworlds.info/@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo/104551800036372692))
"Well what a joke matrix.org and riot.im (now element.io) came to be. They run behind cloudflare and that sucks. I don't even know why I joined those suspicious services. I think its time to leave." [NerdRat](https://mastodon.technology/@NerdRat/104549568307044487)
"Lastima que la pagina de laiguana.tv se haya arrodillado ante una empresa imperialista y anti- privacidad como lo es Cloudflare. Desde mi TorBrowser no puedo acceder a la noticia." [rtfm](https://ieji.de/@rtfm/104540550722586003)
""Sadly, P2PFoundation.net's landing page & wiki are in CloudFlare's exclusive walledgarden, directly contradicting a large portion of P2PFoundation's mission purpose. Not sure when they made that foolish move, but strypey I suggest moving your contributions elsewhere and leaving a link to them. hypocrisy" by [batalanto](https://todon.nl/@batalanto/104542025928367702)
"[using Tor shows how much sites are hidden behind Cloudflare. Yesterdays DNS problem of them showed even more of this privacy problem.

It is more like selling your soul and poisoning the Internet. Also : A few months ago I had to use the CloudFlare web admin interface for a friend.
