Care to share an example of cloudflare impacting you from this to date? CEO is a lawyer and feel like they adhere to their principles pretty firmly. Just check the latest in Italy

The problem isn't "to date" the problem is what might be.

Sure, maybe the CloudFlare CEO seems like they "do the right thing" and then the administration gets pissed off at something CF related, they lean on the CF board and you've got a new CEO and maybe CF is sold off to "a friend of the show".

Nothing specific to CF here it's just how all US companies need to be viewed.

And what exactly stops this from happening to any company or organization, regardless of being US-based?

If 90% of customers are in the US, they're probably going to comply.

I think these days people are generally more suspicious and nervous, and are looking around for potential alternatives. But price, quality, and UX/DX will win eventually, imo.
