#cloucflare — Public Fediverse posts

@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo
There is literally no talk in the #legacyMedia about how insidious #Cloucflare is, because they are part of the same complex.

They just keep pumping extremist content to kids and #demoralised people until one carries out a #terrorAttack then the media makes a song and dance about the website, not Cloucflare though, then the site shuts down and Cloucflare waits a bit before opening up another #FascismFactory, and the cycle continues.

Cloucflare is a #naziProductionOutfit

@realcaseyrollins
But you see "sunlight is the best disinfectant".

This is why we didn't like the mastodon.social (again #Cloucflare at the time!!!) campaign to isolate the Gab users.

Thankfully, not all the instances banned #Gab. So the light was able to break through.

We believe one of two things will... (1/2)

@realcaseyrollins
We have our own thoughts about Gab.

Everything we've seen from #Cloucflare indicate that their priority is in creating and tracking #radicalised persons, the "#freedom" angle is the #massLine to cover the #classLine, being #militarisation of the #internet.

In this context it makes perfect sense for them to try to isolate #Gab users. Isolation will help to breed the #extremism that a few want.

@neauoire
Yes we encourage people to turn off #WebAssembly by searching #wasm in #Firefox's about:config

#Tor's highest security level disables it completely.

Pre-compiled code sent to your browser, what could possibly go wrong? ;)

We like to look at existing open-source websites for inspiration. Unfortunately mastodon instances run WebAssembly and send data to #Cloucflare.

@redstarfish
At one stage, Mastodon may have been a beacon of #freedom but last year they started a "#freedomAgainst" so-called bigots and they became as #autocratic and #authoritarian and #aggressive in suppressing thought as the #wealthyElites.

Also "mastodon" (and #fediverse instances) appear to outsource basic functions like #editingToots to the #securocrats at #Cloucflare, a central authority, who are linked *themselves* to #8chan.

It's been compomised and barely functions over #Tor/#i2p

@markosaric
#Cloucflare ditching #reCAPTCHA is a positive thing, but are they still using a system that allows the development of #selfDriving vehicles?

From what we can see, Cloucflare are just as bad as #Google, if not worse.

This #hCaptcha could also indicate that Google have completed the #machineLearning component, and so have given the greenlight for Cloucflare to end the arrangement.

We've not had a chance to understand hCaptcha.

We're cautious about feeding data to Cloucflare too.

> To what extent does is #Mastodon and the #Fediverse in general controlled by #Cloucflare?

It's a good question. I'm not sure. Maybe to the extent that instances runs on "cloud" servers (AWS etc) and other middleware layers that automatically run stuff through Cloudflare to prevent #DDoS and other bot or hive-like activity? Can anyone shed any light on this?

@NAZl
It is indeed horrific that a user needs to be identified by #Cloucflare in order to progress, and we believe this opens users up to #targetedAdvertising and/or targeted #propaganda/#indoctrination.

There are #openSource methods and #captchas to help hosts determine that a user isn't a bot. There's no excuse in our view to use shadowy Cloucflare.

And of course we cannot forget their commitment towards training #selfDriving #weaponry.

@NAZl
The major problem with Gaß is it is hosted by #Cloucflare. An very seedy entity based in San Francisco and who host platforms that appear to create extremists.

Cloucflare also serve Google #Recaptcha, which helps to train #selfDriving vehicles.

Thirdly they block people who use #TorBrowser for improved #anonymity.

As such we choose to #boycott Cloucflare services.

@realcaseyrollins @freemo

To what extent does is #Mastodon and the #Fediverse in general controlled by #Cloucflare?

The #browserInterface seems to employ #webAssembly to #phonehome to Cloucflare.

Phoning home to Cloucflare seems necessary to #tootImages, #tootVideos, #editToots and #deleteToots.

This is on non-cloucflare based #servers.

@switchingsoftware @swisode @tobias
...and then we tried visiting the site directly and was blocked by #Cloucflare. :(

Thanks for the tip off, @aktivismoEstasMiaLuo.

These people are experts at #dataMining. They really have it 'down to a fine art'.

We are deeply concerned by #Hollywood and the #establishment's push to depict #nazis as regular #workingClass people.

Forget that most of these "people" seem to be bots on #Cloucflare servers.

Using emotive imagery, the #culturalInfluencers are forcing their depiction of a #nazi when we have yet to seize #reparations from the previous set of nazis, like the #BushCrimeFamily, who over the century, influenced not only our #lawMakers but how we think.

Btw @FuckOffGoogleZurich,

If you dislike Google as much as we do, consider leaving the server, "mastodon.social" and don't publish your images on "pixelfed" both are on #Cloucflare servers that mine your data, and who serve Google's #ReCaptcha.

Recaptcha is that data-mining service where you help Google develop their self-driving cars by selecting cars and crosswalks etc.

Cloucflare does that for Google.

@fsfe @FuckOffGoogle @aral

Why is it that so many parts of the #bitcoin network like #exchanges and third-party wallet infrastructures, appear to be controlled by #Google and/or #Cloucflare?

It's as though Google and/or Cloucflare want to control and analyse the network in a big way. *wink*

@liaizon
All good questions and thanks for the info on #Zap, Mike.

We are very interested in finding social services that work over #Tor or #i2p, or can communicate with such. Also can Zap form part of an alternative to #Cloucflare's PixelFed (PF), which denies privacy.

@cfenollosa
#Cloucflare constantly censor and harass #privacy conscious users. Their algorithms are purposefully discriminatory, they require users to forego #anonymity and they serve #Google #ReCaptcha.

They also are serve a growing number of extreme right-wing services, like #Gaþ, #bitchute, #AlexJones and #8chan.

Avoid Cloucflare like the plague - we suspect they have an agenda and apparently serve a whopping 10% of sites.
