I thought that cloudflare system worked on any hardware and the tokens are anonymous. Did that change at some point? If it didn't change, then yeah it should get a very different reaction!

(Edit: it looks like the new system is still private and still interlinked with the old system that lets you use any hardware? I think?)

Also I don't know how you could have missed the widespread criticism of apple and especially cloudflare on this site.

apple has blessed cloudflare WAF with backend access to the apple ID service tokens that they manage for things like iMessage authenticity

I think it has also blessed Amazon's WAF

Cloudflare has a turnstile product that i'm sure uses this apple IDS token

Mobile Safari generally is not shown Cloudflare captchas or similar because of Apple-Cloudflare cooperation. it's not complicated.

Apple calls it a "Personal Access Token" but that makes it sound more like a DRM scheme - which it sort of is, it is managing your right to a free-as-in-beer access scheme - than a broad web integrity environment solution
