    I’m glad Cloudflare is taking a neutral stance to this. I’ve long said if a service provider, in any capacity, starts moderating content without a court order then it’s a slippery …

    You're late to the party. Matrix & Element do a fine job at this, and can be easily customized.

    Frankly, it's been long suggested by the government to do that. I would not be surprised if they did as well. In Canada, our freedom of expression is limited by whatever the Govern…

    I was personally affected by it, it appears they kept the announcement of the prefixes live in those datacenters but it was similar to being blackholed in those POPs. It caused 8 h…

    I'm not going to rely on Cloudflare Pages personally... It's concerning to see they let free traffic in regions be broken for over 8 hours _without_ redirecting traffic to another …
