Any time a large portion of internet traffic is controlled by a single source it brings problems like this with it. All cloudflare has to do is arbitrarily decide who and who can't use the internet and effectively their word becomes law. Like most things it starts with an innocent premise (e.g. "an easy way to stop bad actors") and ends up extended to any number of arbitrary things. Worse, the argument from privacy advocates rings hollow because defending privacy means you have to allow Bad People (TM). The average drooler using the internet cannot understand the nuance. Even in the most innocent of cases, a bad commit getting merged, can bring down the internet. It has happened before with Cloudflare.

Companies like Cloudflare, Google, Meta, etc are the reason anti-trust law exists. Unfortunately, it appears there is no one with any power that is willing to use the laws for their purpose. The internet in 20 years will be nothing like we've seen before. That's not a good thing.
