Cloudflare is an exclusive walled garden that blocks a marginalized¹ segment of people from most of their sites.

① People whose ISP uses #CGNAT, Tor users, users with text browsers, beneficial bots (which serve humans), impaired people (who can’t solve CF’s CAPTCHAs), those who distrust a US corp to have visibility on the plaintext contents of every single packet including usernames and passwords, etc.
