To the people upset with CloudFlare: please explain why it is better for random startups and multinational corporations to set and enforce policy, than for elected officials and governments and courts

Lately, I'm not impressed with our government or the people who elected it. I think both groups -- meaning corrupt people in the first instance and stupid people in the second -- have far too much power over the rest of us.

Subversion and disobedience on the part of everyone from multinational corporations to individual Internet users may, unfortunately, be the only remaining way forward. I don't pretend that this state of affairs is good for society, but it is what it is.
