cloudflare is an enemy of privacy. Change my mind.

they are the definition of "gatekeepers"
It's not clear to me what exactly their service is meant to do but I see their "security" check box on more sites than any time prior.
Their ubiquity gives them ever-growing control over internet traffic. That seems to run counter to the objective of a truly open and decentralized internet.
They give away their services for free to 99% of their customers. Remember, if the product is free, you’re the product.
But the other 1% pay through the nose for their “Enterprise” service, which has extremely good privacy and security. And all the settings you could possibly want for configuring your environment.
