Are you going to make a substantive claim or just throw around accusations with no foundation?

Running effectively a MITM service for SSL then blasting private keys all over the internet might be a good example.

Blasting private keys? [Citation Needed]

Not that hard to find: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloudbleed

EDIT: Wait, you're the Cloudflare CEO and you don't know about Cloudbleed?

Particularly in a topic specifically about a product competing with google. Like, GOOGLE! It's almost impossible not to be more privacy respecting / enforcing.

can you explain this a bit more ? I'm not up to date on what cloudflare has been doing lately or in the past privacy wise

I think it's definitely better than Google Analytics. It also does not require cookies, so you don't need to display the GDPR banner.

I think you mean does not*?

s/does/does not/

Until they update the GDPR to prevent cookieless tracking.

It's already about tracking/storing/sharing PII; not about your technical implementation of that.

It's just generally very narrowly interpreted as 'if you use cookies you need to plaster your site in a ridiculous banner and options menu'.

> Until they update the GDPR to prevent cookieless tracking.

No need. Cookies are irrelevant, tracking is. Cookieless tracking already falls under the GDPR. This doesn’t seem to track users so it’s fine.

Its a US company, you have to trust them on their words no logs are being shared with NSA etc. Also seems cloudflare is becoming one of the bigger nodes that if cloudflare does go down. It might shut down big sections of the internet.
