Cheap, effective, well known, easy to setup. And to date, had not entered into the ring on censorship in any public way.
I would hope that changes immediately. There really should be an open source DDOS protection system for the hosts, or something built into the ISPs. It's such a major vulnerability and no one has made any real moves to counter it because the cloudflare solution has appeared to work.

Thanks Pede, I received this from a trusted source so I didn’t independently check. Will delete at 5 minutes past the bottom of the hour.
Welp, then also prepare for Gab because I heard it also uses Cloudflare. At least they are safer because they own their own servers.

So who will host .win ?
Cloudflare is not a host. Cloudflare is like a bouncer that stands at the door and holds up the rope when a DDOS happens.
Now they are acting like the literal mafia, revoking their "protection" for anyone who doesn't capitulate to "the family."
This is not on their Twitter stream. But something to think about, as I'm sure their management is getting pressure from the MSM.
One mod in td.win told that they already prepared mirror links in case the .win gets nuked.
Look fake
