#Google will make you want to unplug (as Cloudflare has done to me), but if you’re in Europe you will be unable to because European governments have already killed off offline infrastructure (#digitalTransformation). There are already a number of government transactions & public services that can no longer be done offline.

    Cloudflare is an exclusive walled garden that blocks a marginalized¹ segment of people from most of their sites.

    ① People whose ISP uses #CGNAT, Tor users, users with text browsers, beneficial bots (which serve humans), impaired people (who can’t solve CF’s CAPTCHAs), those who distrust a US corp to have visibility on the plaintext contents of every single packet including usernames and passwords, etc.
