### Unwanted spam emails
|
||||
### CloudFlare spams people
|
||||
|
||||
Cloudflare is sending spam emails to non-Cloudflare users.
|
||||
|
||||
- Only send emails to subscribers who’ve opted in
|
||||
- When the user say "stop", then stop sending email
|
||||
|
||||
It's that simple. But Cloudflare don't care.

It's that simple. But Cloudflare doesn't care.

Cloudflare said using their service [can stop all spammers or attackers](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170066-Will-activating-Cloudflare-stop-all-spammers-or-attackers-).
|
||||
How can we stop _Cloudflare spammers_ without activating Cloudflare?

### Charitable contributions
|
||||
### Corporate solicitation of charitable contributions
|
||||
|
||||
CloudFlare is asking for [charitable contributions](https://web.archive.org/web/20191112033605/https://opencollective.com/cloudflarecollective#section-about). It’s quite appalling that an American corporation would ask for charity alongside non-profit organizations that have good causes. If you like [blocking people or wasting other people's time](PEOPLE.md), you might want to order some pizzas🍕 for Cloudflare employees.

### Browser vendor discrimination
|
||||
|
||||
CloudFlare gives preferential treatment to those using Firefox while
|
||||
giving hostile treatment to users of non-Mozilla-based browsers over
|
||||
Tor. Tor users of who (rightfully) refuse to execute non-free
|
||||
javascript also receive hostile treatment. This access inequality is
|
||||
a network neutrality abuse and an abuse of power.
|
||||
|
||||
| ***browser*** | ***access treatment*** |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| Firefox (with non-free javascript enabled; incl. Tor Browser) | access permitted |
|
||||
| Chromium (with non-free javascript enabled) | access degraded (pushes Google reCAPTCHA) |

||||

||||

### Voter suppression
|
||||
|
||||
Voters in US states register to vote ultimately through the state
|
||||
secretary's website in the state of their residence.
|
||||
Republican-controlled state secretary offices engage in voter
|
||||
suppression by proxying the state secretary's website through
|
||||
CloudFlare. CloudFlare's hostile treatment of Tor users, its MitM
|
||||
position as a centralized global point of surveillance, and its
|
||||
detrimental role overall makes prospective voters reluctant to
|
||||
register. Liberals in particular tend to embrace privacy. Voter
|
||||
registration forms collect sensitive information about a voter's
|
||||
political leaning, personal physical address, social security number,
|
||||
and date of birth. Most states only make a subset of that information
|
||||
publicly available, but CloudFlare sees ***all*** that information
|
||||
when someone registers to vote.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that paper registration does not circumvent CloudFlare because
|
||||
the secretary of state data entry staff workers will likely use the
|
||||
CloudFlare website to enter the data.
