They aren't really fighting against censorship and especially anti-piracy censorship. If they were, they'd refuse to take down sites. Instead they've a streamlined process for just that purpose, and are only fighting because they have been censored, affecting their bottom line.
Might be something have changed recently, but CloudFlare is kind a infamous for not taking down some questionable services. At the same time companies like Apple and Microsoft still continue to censor stuff on requests from Russia where they supposedly not operate.
Thank you, this is the truth.
Cloudflare does not fight censorship. It actively helps create it. They have a strong team that delivers great products, but at the end of the day, it’s a for-profit company with as much for-profit morals that exist.
Lookup Tor project problems and CrimeFlare. Cheers.

Piracy only flourishes when the content is priced too high. Most people don't want to bother, pirate streams tend to be glitchy, low quality, and unreliable. But they will if they feel they are being bent over a barrel. Drop the price and most people will pay it. I.e. make it easy for people to do it the right way.
