I always thought it was strange to see the example loopback address listed as 1.1.1.1 or 1.xxx.xxx.xxx in many of tutorials and official network certification guides and why they did not use a private. This is more than likely why many users are having problems because they are being routed to a loopback address on their router or another router. Hopefully network admins and engineers will choose a non public ip space as their loopback address to resolve the problem.

I can understand not being able to remember 192.168.X.X. But if that's the issue, why not use 10.X.X.X which is private AND easy to remember? Is it really hard to remember 10?

I wonder if anyone has considered some sort of legislation whereby internet service providers are not allowed to block or disrupt service to certain parts of the internet in order to promote their own business model.

Are they blocking 8.8.8.8? Why do you think they're blocking 1.1.1.1?

Yes, they were not the sharpest crayons in the box.

But CloudFlare has addressed this with lots of vendors. This update is a new one.
