They were never a common carrier. “Common carrier” is a well-defined legal term that does not apply to them.

In related news, I did not give up my status as a fish by breathing air.

Tell that to Cloudflare.

They are trying very hard to be a common carrier, because they want the legal protections that it provides them.

But, because of their actions, they've lost the court cases, and are unlikely to recieve that status.
