A reminder that Cloudflare is a private company. They can choose who to do business with. They are fully entitled to kick any entity off their service for any reason or no reason at all.
Criticism is detrimental to the originator if it is not valid. My reminder was pointing out the invalidity of the "criticism". It is not a criticism to point out totally normal behaviour of a company. It is like saying "American Airlines kicked out two people not following the crew's instructions from their flight, even though they had paid for tickets!".
It's their company, their plane, their website, their platform. Obey the rules or GTFO.
Let me get this right: private companies/citizens can drop business from anybody with zero notice and any amount of harm because "they're private", but private companies/citizens can't express criticism because harm? Do I get that right, is that your reasoning?
Private entities you like can do anything and private entities you don't like can't do anything to the ones you like, because?
