And service owners go out of their way to check the CF settings and opt in to the darknet... how often exactly?
It's implied with CF that you block people they can't track and prove to be innocent. Hence this old chestnut still existing: it's no joke.
It's gotten somewhat better now that CF is using proof-of-work DDOS protection vs the older captchabullshit, but if you browse the web on Tor you will find LARGE numbers of sites that are CF blocking you.
(Props to HN, it works over tor)
