Right after telling Cloudflare all about who visits your websites. Please only show this to US americans, it would be weird to slap this in the face of the majority of the world population.


If you're a current customer, you already trust us with your logs. We've got a good track record of fighting for user privacy, and IMO if you wanted to get records of a site's visitors, you'd probably go directly to the site if at all possible -- smaller sites generally aren't in a position to fight subpoenas and letters, whereas we do.

(disclaimer: I work at CloudFlare after selling my crypto startup to them earlier in the year, and work on security/privacy products)

I agree it's kind of unfair to non-USA people to suffer website slowdowns over US politics. It's also unfair for non-USA people to get spied on by NSA or droned by CIA. Unfortunately they don't ask me :)
