I think CF is already a major threat to the open web.
A large majority of sites they protect, I cannot even visit. Most of the time I get infinite captcha loops, other times it just straight up says “you are blocked”, and that’s without any proxy or VPN. But for people in areas that need to use such products, it threatens their access even more.
At least in the US, you apparently have even stronger DMCA protections when you don’t have moderators.
