Days after posting about the need for cloudflare (and others) to decentralize / split up; and there is this article in the Guardian for the UK: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/sep/30/we-can...

Equating cloudflare tech with nazi bouncers, and killing. Needing to be used to shutdown sites.

with things like this: >> Cloudflare has built “edge servers” – data centres that store content locally. There are 30 in Europe, including one in London and one in Manchester. The British government cannot regulate the worldwide web, but it could enforce the law in Britain. The anti-fascists at Hope not Hate begged ministers to make Cloudflare’s British operations comply with anti-Nazi legislation.

>> Cloudflare, by contrast, is enabling men who want to kill, not argue.

There was a time when the tech was not easily understood, and the argument of dumb pipes was kind of legit. It seems that time is over, in no small part because tech has not been sticking to their principals (imho).
