IAB Statement on IPv6

The worst part about reddit in that case is that they use cloudflare which could be a 1 click update to ipv6. Previously they have stated that internal systems (spam, court orders, reporting) are holding them back from the change.

Still plausible, e.g. if their spam filters, court order handling and reporting expect to see IPv4 client addresses in their input and/or databases.

Cloudflare have a workaround for that too! https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/202494830-P...

You know, Cloudflare gets a lot of shit around here for being a centralizing entity in a decentralized Internet (sometimes justifiably), but they've done a hell of a lot to push forward needed changes in the Internet infrastructure. Often at little benefit to themselves.

That is a concise, interesting read topped off by some Gibson quotes. Thanks.
