Re: [nznog] Using Cloudflare after Christchurch

So did you get any response? As I very much doubt you will get any meaningful other than it is their policy. I have come to the conclusion after doing a fair amount of research into Cloudflare over the weekend that they would protect any and all vile content if it wouldn't put them into legal jeopardy. Been contacted off list by a number of different people who say everything that is forwarded via the abuse channel is thrown on the floor. On Fri, 3 May 2019, 11:11 Mehmet Akcin, wrote:

I am not an advocate of cloudflare by no means having said that

They host too many sites and quantity brings more risk. Simple as that.

I forwarded this email to him and a friend who works there.

I have tried tweeting eastdakota when I was doxed and haven't had a response. If you get a response I would be interested.

But I highly recommend you ask him the pointed question about the AUP of Cloudflare as brevity of it speaks volumes:

https://www.cloudflare.com/terms/

And ask him why *all* the most vile sites on the internet seem to only use his services for WAF/DDoS protection and none of the other providers and why he doesn't do anything about it. It's no mistake that there isn't any validation of the email address you use when signing up to the Cloudflare service.

Cheers, Peter

If you have concerns, email the ceo or tweet him @eastdakota. Good guy, reasonable, and he will take time respond. I know people who work there. They are not going to let anyone malicious use their platform knowingly.

InternetNZ is the forum to discuss this, not NZNOG.

Engineers have a personal responsibility to ensure that the actions they take, even on behalf of an employer, are ethically right.

I do think therefore this is a discussion for NZNOG, being as it is a community of engineers who do the implementing.
