Cloudflare is the last party that should be running this for two reasons.
1. THey have already proven to be a bad faith actor with their "DDoS protection."
2. This is pretty much the typical Cloudflare HN playbook. They release soemthing targeted at the current wave and hide behind an ideological barrier; meanwhile if you try to use them for anything serious they require a call with sales who jumps you with absurdly high pricing.
Do other cloud providers charge high fees for things they have no business charging for? Absolutely. But they typically tell you upfront and don't run ideological narratives.
This is not a company we should be putting much trust in, especially not with their continued plays to become the gatekeepers of the internet.
