Cloudflare has a transparency report[0], updated twice a year.

In the transparency report there's a warrant canary:

  Some things we have never done
  Cloudflare has never turned over our SSL keys or our customers' SSL keys to anyone.
  Cloudflare has never installed any law enforcement software or equipment anywhere on our network.
  Cloudflare has never terminated a customer or taken down content due to political pressure.
  Cloudflare has never provided any law enforcement organization a feed of our customers' content transiting our network.

Where do you draw the line between political pressure and the management's political beliefs?

So far, Cloudflare's most notorious content on the other side of the line has been Daily Stormer back in August of 2017.

>The tipping point for us making this decision was that the team behind Daily Stormer made the claim that we were secretly supporters of their ideology

That latest report says it covers the first half of 2017 so we'll have to wait to see whether they consider the actions from the second half of the year to change the fourth item on that list.
Is it concerning yet that they haven't put up their semi annual warrant canary, actually? The last two times, they had it updated by January 14th [0] and July 8th.[1]
