> Cloudflare has no mechanism for blocking websites through 1.1.1.1., and we have never blocked a website through our public resolver

Given 1.1.1.2 & 1.1.1.3 exist this is pretty obviously a massive lie.

Indeed they drive coach and horses through the entire argument of the piece. Apparently unaccountable arbitrary blocking based on lists provided by organisations with a long history of bigotry and that actively discriminate against sex workers and queer people is fine as long as crooks and thieves are protected.



What exactly is your point? We should make it worse, because it's already bad?


My point is that Cloudflare should either scrap their family filters or stop lying.


I don't like the anti-queer nature of the "family" filters either, but it's something that users are actively opting into. I would rather people deal with "family friendly" by configuring their family's DNS than by trying to change the public internet.


If I actively opted into genocide it still wouldn't be okay. The answer to issues like these is not and should not be "people pick it and that makes it okay".
