> if it's so bad for privacy and isn't necessary for a CDN, does Cloudflare the CDN simply disregard ECS when receiving requests from DNS.Google, or do they take it into account?

I don't understand that for various reasons.

1) Privacy is already lost here. If I shout my mobile number on a train with you that's full of people, everyone knows my phone number. If you choose to keep it / use it to call me tomorrow doesn't matter.

2) If Cloudflare can make _better_ decisions based on the information shared by Google, why shouldn't they? As long as it is optional and they don't take their ball and go home^W^W^W^W^W^Wreply with 127.0.0.3 in cases where you don't provide it..

1) probabilities. No one is likely to keep that information on the train. Unless of course AT&T runs the train in which they tell you they will record everything you say and use it for marketing or what ever other purposes.
