It's really interesting that CloudFlare accepted X (Twitter) as a client knowing the fights Musk gets into.

They probably gave a high quote that got paid anyway.

Cloudflare was happy to host Kiwi Farms for a long time. I doubt they care what Musk does.

Looks like they only use it in Brazil, everywhere else seems to resolve to regular Twitter IPs

Hosting Kiwi Farms wasn't likely to get Cloudflares ASN null-routed by the 7th most populous state on Earth though. There's the potential for serious collateral damage to Cloudflares business here if Brazil calls their bluff.

Null-routing Cloudflare is also going to do a fair bit of collateral damage to the people of the 7th most populous state on Earth though.

Considering the initial order of the Brazilian judiciary regarding VPN, this is almost certainly what Twitter hopes to achieve here.
