It's clearly not. And it's not Cloudflare's job to be playing morality police when the content is legal in its state of operation, and legal in the state of the owner. I will not be using Cloudflare in the future.

Loli porn is disgusting and the people who view it are unequivocally pedophiles, but this is not that. It's weird, but it shouldn't be in the realm of such a takedown.

It is almost certainly cloudflares policy that they will not make judgements like this. They will just take down any content if someone complains about it.

Think about it - if they paid an employee to look at the content to decide legal/not legal, they would be exposing that employee to CSAM. That's illegal and they'd get sued for it.

Which is why they probably have no human involvement in the decision-making, and lots of legal things are taken down as a result.

That's very much not how it works. People are paid to check and it comes with issues. See Facebook moderation consultants case https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/12/21255870/facebook-content...
