So... it's a VPN?
It overlaps a VPN but it is not a traditional "hide-my-ass" one that hides your IP from the destination address, warp will send along your IP info in headers to the destination if it's someone who uses cloudflare services.

#182> We believe privacy is a right. We won't sell your data, ever. There’s no reason to believe this. This is the same company that publicly stated their principled position relating to the culture of free speech and then flip-flopped not even 3 days later. It’s not about that issue but rather that this company has lost credibility and should not be trusted with any promises. Keep at arms length.
Yeah I wondered about this myself. Who checks "terms of service" every week to make sure they haven't changed on every service they use? At least if you use a VPN you know you'd likely hear about it everywhere in tech news, and that VPN knows that it's a death blow.

They have terminated service for 8chan, The Daily Stormer, and KiwiFarms. I'll leave it up to you to determine how fair of a description "censored" is.
Even though those three website are filth, they have objectively been censored by Cloudflare. What's the confusion here? Just be honest about it and say Cloudflare censors content they don't agree with. Why the tiptoeing around this fact?
I'm not that worried since those sites received tons of bad press (for good reason) and were hives of scum and villainy. My main reason is they don't hide your source IP in all cases or provide actual region hiding either. It's a false sense of security.

Sounds like what you want is some regulation for content hosts, isn't it?
I don’t want infrastructure providers to play law enforcement. If they would have had received a court order and acted afterwards, I’d be okay with their decision. But kicking customers for marketing? Meh.
When it's a site trying to get people to kill people over the color of their skin and suicide themselves over being LGBQT, I don't have a problem with a private business saying they won't do business with you. There are plenty of other providers that will. I would be bothered by the government making a company do it however.

They didn't host the content, though. They were only providing DDoS protection
Tomato, tomato. And in this case, Cloudflare does proxy and cache traffic through its infrastructure, that's their whole business model.
Tomato, tomato? There's a very big difference between a hosting provider and a caching service

In terms of political, public and commercial repercussions, which is what the discussion is about? Not much difference at all.

I have the same sorts of issues on Android -- I frequently have to kill the 1.1.1.1 app because it no longer passes traffic, but it seems to work fine on other Linux systems that are not Android.
The Android issue is an issue, but a separate one. It seems to only happen on a few devices (including mine). What device do you use and on what version of Android?
I'm using it on a Pixel 6 with Android 13.

There was a recent controversy where an activist named "Keffals" posted something violent and threatening on KiwiFarms about herself, screenshotted and deleted it (it's not clear to me whether she deleted the post or if it was removed, however I know her account was banned), and then used the screenshot to lobby CloudFlare to take down the site. After this became known CloudFlare has held steady in their commitment t…
>There was a recent controversy where an activist named "Keffals" posted something violent and threatening on KiwiFarms about herself, screenshotted and deleted it There is not a citation big enough for this holy shit >That said it's not an especially nice site It's a site that encourages people to literally commit suicide. But you seem to have an agenda in your comment
With all due respect I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about

I'm glad you'll keep that in mind so you can describe these entities correctly in the future
