Additionally, Cloudflare’s initiative faces criticism from those who “worry that academic research, security scans, and other types of benign web crawling will get elbowed out of websites as barriers are built around more sites” through Cloudflare’s blocks and paywalls, the WSJ reported.

The fuck? Since when is a bot designed to enumerate your network weaknesses to sell to Russian/Chinese/US hacking groups a bad thing to block? Fuck the WSJ for even putting that dumb as fuck take on the internet for other idiots to think about.

NO , its not a good fucking idea to allow the equivalent of an incessant door-to-door salesman into your home to take notes of everything you own and sell to a random motherfucker somewhere else you don’t know.

That behavior is fucking weird and shouldn’t be tolerated. Cloudflare arbitrarily blocking that network traffic for you is a good thing.

Just checked this out on HF and this shit isn’t even on the top 100 in any leaderboard. What gives?
