That's required for transparency and they indicate as such directly on their abuse page: https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse/form

This kind of thinking will drive service providers to invade customer privacy as a risk management strategy. How could Amazon, for example, allow customers to operate private workloads if society expects them to police said workloads for undesirable conduct?

"That's required for transparency"

Other companies handle abuse reports just fine without ever having to give away the identity of the whistle blower.

> This kind of thinking

A public website is not a private workload. You are comparing apples and oranges. And in any case, Amazon prohibits offensive content in their acceptable use policy. https://aws.amazon.com/aup/. If someone reported you for unacceptable use, count on Amazon invading your "privacy".
