Found this today on hackernews and I think it is time for me to look for alternatives to cloudflare if their CEO will decide to cut a whole country over fines

So it's not about what they're actually doing but what they said about the US administration?

I got to tell you man, the next 3 years you are going to hear a lot of unjustified praise for Trump, because nobody wants to be on the bad side of that madman and the US courts have basically decided that the POTUS is King of America for 4 years at a time. The US just kidnapped the head of state of a foreign nation because he danced. The US will probably invade Greenland soon unless someone calls Trump a very special and beautiful boy who doesn't need a big slab of ice in the Arctic. Cuba and Chile are in big trouble too unless Little Marco gets tired of gargling the old man's jizz.

All that said, Italy is wrong, Cloudflare is correct in this case, and the reason to avoid Cloudflare is not because they're dick riding the Big Orange, but because you should have been avoiding Cloudflare anyway because they over- centralize internet infrastructure.
