some years ago, I reported a booter service run by lizardsquad to cloudflare.

cloudflare passed on my information -to- lizardsquad, who proceeded to send me death threats.

so, y'know. cloudflare's got more'n a decade of precedent of vigorously defending bad actors on their platform.

and really, I think we can all assume that the large tech companies are pure evil at this point generally; expecting them to do the ethical thing will only give you disappointment.

this is incredibly frustrating.

@munin Isn't that why we're all here?

@munin Not really relevant, but “booter” is the boot full of water you get in a Winnipeg thaw, when the “solid” snow or ice you’re walking on suddenly collapses into an underlying pool of meltwater. I could see booter-as-a-service being quite profitable as a minor revenge tactic, really…

@munin I once talked about how it was bad for business for cloudflare to be protecting a certain doxxing site. Not any or accusative, just pointing out that there's a lot of people like me making networking decisions mostly know them for being protectors of abuse.

My home address and a death threat were posted by the end of the day

@foone @munin It is really weird that they bother with those instead of making sure their servers don't go down because of 201 parameters passed into production without testing it in a staging environment.
