No website should ever have to be subject to such DDoS attacks or censorship.
I'm glad that The Guardian went on to mention that it was all thanks to Cloudflare for actually protecting sites like Labour from these cheap DDoS attacks. Unlike the BBC as usual forgetting and glossing over the actual mitigation only mentioning Cloudflare afterwards being used and still giving all the credit to Labour's own "robust" security system [0].
> Labour said the attack "failed" because of the party's "robust" security system and no data breach had occurred.

Thank goodness Cloudflare exists.
