If it wasn't already, you aren't paying attention.

Cloudflare is quite literally the largest bulletproof hosting provider for bad actors on the internet, and unless you know someone at the company personally takedowns are like pulling teeth.

Not to mention that CFs policy is to forward takedown requests, unredacted, to the site you're trying to takedown. CF users like KiwiFarms have been weaponizing this policy for years by publishing their takedown requests, knowing their userbase will seek retribution against whoever sent them.

Huh? Are you suggesting sites shouldn't have access to takedown requests? That is unreasonable.

If your complaint is that the host should be the only one to see the full report then your point doesn't stand since Josh pays to have his own ASN so he can personally handle reports for it.

If your point is that only Cloudflare should have the name I don't think it counts as a valid DMCA takedown since it's not like you have a signed document from the copyright holder or someone on their behalf.

The comment is pretty obviously talking about working with them when it comes to vulnerabilities.

How they handle takedowns is important in its own way but completely unrelated.
