I don't think Cloudflare is intentionally trying to gatekeep the internet. At the same time the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Their CDN service has allowed a lot more sites to exist than the two it has harmed (and I don't consider those two to be great losses).

However they are certainly becoming an internet chokepoint and we need more alternatives to them for the good of the internet.

Perhaps they don’t see it as “gatekeeping”, but it is clearly an explicit goal of theirs that the internet goes through them.

Every big company IS intentionally trying to gatekeep their markets.
