    the group requests a DMCA subpoena that requires Cloudflare to hand over personal information and account details relating to the operators of The Pirate Bay, YTS, 1337x, EZTV, Seasonvar, Tamilrockers, Lordfilms, and many others

      I have no idea why. It does not make sense to.

      But then, Cloudflare only censors extremist platforms like 8chan, so piracy platforms probably choose it as the most cost efficient or freedom leaning or for some similar simple reason?

          Well I did not intend to, haha. It was meant for privatelife, where I advocate privacy AND freedom, and piracy somewhat falls into the latter.

          If you want I can remove the post :p

            nah it’s fine, it’s just that while this does certainly contain topics related to privacy, it’s primarily about piracy, and people often accidentally confuse those two communities because they’re written really similarly, just wanted to make sure you didn’t do it accidentally :)
