A Cloudflare spokesperson told Ars that the cloud services provider saw “a spike in unusual traffic to one of Cloudflare’s services,” which “caused some traffic passing through Cloudflare’s network to experience errors.”

“We do not yet know the cause of the spike in unusual traffic,” the spokesperson said. “We are all hands on deck to make sure all traffic is served without errors. After that, we will turn our attention to investigating the cause of the unusual spike in traffic.”

Absolute bonkers speculation and it's wild that it got as many upvotes as downvotes.

There's not even a hint of a suggestion that these two things would be related and it'd be a pretty stupid move to pull. This doesn't hinder ICE that much and massively hinders many people all around the globe. Want to hinder communications? You'd jam ICE radios, not my muffin recipe website, (some) fediverse instances, and thousands of other websites.

Go outside, breath some air, recalibrate. This level of obsession is not good for you and won't help the good causes you want to help either.
