That would require Cloudflare to have a KYC policy which exposes the individual/organization behind an account, and they don't do that either.

If DDoS4U gets banned they can just rebrand as DDoS4Less and CF is (willingly?) none the wiser that it's the same people behind it.

KYC := know your customer
aka get their real id
