It's my understanding that the usual process is to ask Cloudflare to move infringing domains from shared IP addresses to fixed IP's, before blocking.


Do you have a source for this?


No, it's my recollection of words spoken by a lawyer. https://torrentfreak.com/internet-backbone-cogent-blocks-clo... is related to the topic.


Thanks, that's a great source! Definitely illuminates a part of Cloudflare's infrastructure I had no idea about before. Interesting to hear about their cooperation here given their publicly very anti-censorship reputation.
