  They’re not. They’re using this as an excuse to become paid gatekeepers of the internet as we know it. All that’s happening is that Cloudflare is using this to menuever into position where they can say “nice traffic you’ve got there - would be a shame if something happened to it”.

  AI companies are crap.

  What Cloudflare is doing here is also crap.

  And we’re cheering it on.
