Cloudflare is allowing itself to be used as an enforcement tool for third parties, which quickly becomes a rabbit hole for censorship. When the validity of claims made by third parties don't have to be legally proven, it becomes "Do as I tell you to!" Whoever or whatever we say censor, you do. Instead of going directly to the party they have an issue with, they simply use Cloudflare to do their bidding. They pull the strings, Cloudflare becomes the dumb censor tool. That's also what's going on with Quad9 (DNS resolver). Certain parties don't want to legally prove a claim, they want to force censorship whenever they say so.
> The Kafkaesque Cloudflare "prove you're a human" infinite loop is hopefully not a foreshadowing of an imminent Internet dystopia, with Cloudflare the vanguard of it.
The "prove you're a human" glitch, should be a really obvious fix, that lots of users have continuously complained about for a while. You would think that once proven human, that means access to the site. Somehow, Cloudflare has shown no interest in fixing it. In fact, they appear to have more interest in destroying user privacy and protections, using access to a site as the carrot. A lot of the webmasters seem to be getting overzealous or don't have a clear understanding of how they affect users. Cloudflare appears to not be helping, but rather pushing tools and settings to promote sales, so we get user nightmares like "prove you're a human" infinity glitches.
