Looks like same old regulatory capture.

Also, a classic tweet from the Cloudflare CEO re their fight with Italians authorities re censorship:

Everyone looks bad in this conflict.

How does this make Matthew look bad?

Matt acting like he's a free speech absolutist. Hilarious.

Italy and Spain are the bad actors here. Not cloudflare.

On a scale of oppression he certainly leans towards free.

That's like being slightly pregnant.

HN in 2026: free speech is hilarious.

You have it backwards. I'm the free speech absolutist. Cloudflare is not.

Calling on JD Vance and Elon as if they're known for a principled respect for free speech is crazy. It just reads as unnecessary propaganda or a poorly-disguised threat from powerful friends. I'm generally inclined to agree with Cloudflare here and the post makes me question that.
