Those situations aren't analogous: if the water utility cuts me off, my options are things like drilling a well, trucking in water, or moving. If Cloudflare declines not to do business with me, there are many competitors around the world who I can switch to at varying levels of service depending on how much control I want.

Would those competitors not have the same moral obligations? Why hold Cloudflare to a higher standard?

[acdha]

It’s not a higher standard, just recognizing that the situations are different. People need water in a way that they don’t need a CDN, and the options for getting it are local rather than global.

CloudFlare isn’t just a CDN anymore, that’s the point.
