…that’s not what I was saying at all? Like, remotely close?

I was saying that:

* For-profit companies like Cloudflare have a vested interest in preserving as many paying customers as possible

* Their own process for getting content taken down makes it deliberately difficult to remove content, as that would harm their business model

* We have willfully chosen to sink large swaths of the internet behind companies like Cloudflare

* As a result, the only tools left to governments and the judiciary are often draconian in nature, harming innocent parties in pursuit of criminals

* We are naive to believe that any for-profit entity will act in the best interests of society, especially when those interests conflict with their profit-motives.
