Erm, where is the danger in a mismatched certificate, if all I want is to get some noncritical information from a blog or something?
Local privilege escalation in your browser is a danger. They can also abuse any privileges you gave to the website, such as camera and microphone.
And how can a wrong certificate lead to local privilege escalation?

They must not be doing a good enough job if legitimate sites are being taken out by these blocks too.
Almost all of their customers are using the free, high-risk tier, because it's free.

That's true, at least for most internet service providers. You're just nitpicking for the sake of it.

No. That's what it means in the USA. Judges are not part of the government in the UK, Ireland, Australia, or New Zealand either. They're part of the State.
You and others are confusing definition for meaning. An HN rule asks people to engage with the best interpretation of someones argument, in which case it's very clear what the OP was communicating by using "government" where you might use "state", and it's clear from responses that folks clearly know that but have decided to argue over pointless semantics that engage with the posters meaning.

> massive negative consequences for the rest of society What are these "massive negative consequences" you're talking about? Some IPs blocks from Cloudflare are blocked for ~90 minutes, some times a week. As repeated so many times, I agree it sucks, but it's not "internet is unavailable most of the week", it's "some websites are unavailable for some hours of the week". And also again, if you don't see "something must…
> it's not "internet is unavailable most of the week", it's "some websites are unavailable for some hours of the week" A good chunk of the internet goes through Cloudflare. Something like 40% of the top 1000 websites use it. Services depend on it (CI etc). SaaS companies are shut down. Businesses can't sell. Etc. It's a disaster. It's amazing how oblivious you seem to the gravity of the situation.
I'm not, I don't know how I could, as every single time the blocks happen, I'm personally affected by it, since I live in Spain.
But, seemingly we have wildly different experiences. None of the companies I buy stuff from our down during those periods, it's not a disaster as far as I notice it, but clearly you do, so now I'm curious what exactly you're doing during these 2-3 hours a week when this happen that makes you so affected by this, while I'm not?
I'm genuinely curious, not a "gotcha" or anything, I just want to understand your situation better, since our experience differs so much. Which region are you in and with what ISP?

Nothing here been a "gotcha" but basically Spanish-speaking people using English to communicate Spanish concepts to Americans who also speak English but have different understanding of those concepts. Nothing malicious here, just some good old misunderstandings :)
Finally. For anyone affected by this, I have been using Clouflare WARP successfully to bypass this block.
I hadn't heard about Cloudflare WARP. Found this Reddit thread with questions/comments I also had, https://www.reddit.com/r/CloudFlare/comments/ldejnt/how_is_c... , and also what I think is CF's main website for WARP info, https://one.one.one.one/ (which I must confess I had never head even though I use 1.1.1.1). I struggle with LaLiga's filter during matches, but I am more interested if it'll help with latency/speed…
