> More and more of the internet is now moving behind Cloudflare

This is a big double-standard here on HN. Everyone hates Google for making decisions on behalf of the internet as a whole; yet Cloudflare has done the exact same thing with a different OSI layer.

I'm not very trusting of Google, but I certainly dont trust Cloudflare any more-so, because they keep things much closer to the chest.

Meanwhile upthread...

> Cloudflare essentially centralizing the Internet is disturbing to me.

Maybe different people have different standards, and HN isn't a completely homogeneous group with a single viewpoint. Just like every other group where individuals are free to express themselves.

I think we can trust them for now. They seem like good people and company. I don't know what's at stake in the future, but Mozilla has trusted their service, so there's bo good reason not to.
