Comment on Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince talks about Italy fines while praising JD Vance and Elon Musk

  So your argument is that one of the biggest DNS resolvers should just bow to censorship imposed by a single nation? I’m not really getting what you think they should be doing about Italy’s demand. Are you saying they should just pay the fines and keep doing business there?

    That’s not even close to what they said. Are you even actually reading anything?

      I am, yeah. Like I say, I’m just not understanding what they’re suggesting Cloudflare should be doing differently in this case, other than not invoking Vance and Musk (which granted is pretty gross to do).

        I think it’s the contradiction of trying to fight censor ship while also praising the US government, who is in a stream of heavy censorship. just look at that 60 min episode.

        I think the point is that cloudflare is doing the right thing in this specific case, and the CEO is a douchebag anyway.

    They’re saying they should do what they’re doing just without the sucking up to fascists part.

  So it’s not about what they’re actually doing but what they said about the US administration?

  I got to tell you man, the next 3 years you are going to hear a lot of unjustified praise for Trump, because nobody wants to be on the bad side of that madman and the US courts have basically decided that the POTUS is King of America for 4 years at a time. The US just kidnapped the head of state of a foreign nation because he danced. The US will probably invade Greenland soon unless someone calls Trump a very special and beautiful boy who doesn’t need a big slab of ice in the Arctic. Cuba and Chile are in big trouble too unless Little Marco gets tired of gargling the old man’s jizz.

  All that said, Italy is wrong, Cloudflare is correct in this case, and the reason to avoid Cloudflare is not because they’re dick riding the Big Orange, but because you should have been avoiding Cloudflare anyway because they over- centralize internet infrastructure.
