What they are doing is unfortunately not legal. There were precedents of Cloudflare ratting out manga site operators before which have led to arrests [1] (the person who ran mangamura got a 3 year sentence and a $650k fine [2]). And at some point they were going after mangadex via the same way too [3].

A lot of their infrastructure design choices should be viewed with OPSEC constraints in mind.

Which is interesting considering they take no issue with sites like KiwiFarms which harass people to literal death, terrorist groups, criminals (carders, phishers, etc.), racists & other forms of hate speech.

I guess it all depends on how much money you bring in for them really.
