Cloudflare's abuse policies and approach

Agreed. IMO, people encouraging Cloudflare and other corporations to take political stances are very short-sighted. With the amount of Saudi Arabian and Chinese investment and influence continuing to grow in major corporations, you have to imagine that large tech corporations being aligned with west-coast US Democrat politics isn't going to last forever.

As the article says, "... [not providing services based on moral character] is a dangerous precedent, and one that is over the long term most likely to disproportionately harm vulnerable and marginalized communities."

Very similar to the short-sightedness of encouraging and celebrating creative circumventions of typical government checks and balances (Executive orders and judicial rulings used instead of legislature, etc.), only to be shocked and appalled when the game is flipped back on them when the 'other team' gets the ball.
