I wish that instead of expanding into proxying even more world traffic, they'd look at not actively protecting organised online abuse, death threats, etc. for a change. Fun tech, but a very irresponsible company.
It's not about being a publishing platform vs infrastructure. They're literally at the level of going to court to protect criminals from being prosecuted because the criminals are their customers. Once you actively protect someone from being prosecuted for swatting and keep them as customers, it's really meaningless what law quirk you use to justify it.
I can't tell if you think the affected person should become an outlaw, or are you defending attempted death-by-police as a freedom issue. And I'm sad we're at that stage...
I used it for about a month or so now, it has been quite useful setting up aliases for online shopping and the sorts. It's surprising after a month how many I actually created... I think that says more about our current state of affairs than it does about the service itself.
I'm very lucky in that all I was using Workspace for was catch-all email forwarding, which CF Email Routing replaces easily.
Glad to be able to delete my Workspace account after their rather silly decision to start charging G Suite Legacy customers such as me; I only had it enabled in the first place as my hosting provider offered it as a free one-click setup option several years ago.
The CF product, for free, has been working flawlessly. Very impressed.
This is really useful, simple and neat product, thanks to the Cloudflare team!
The amount of innovation at that company and how they strive to improve the Internet deserves respect.
