Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay $120000 within 24h

Also, interesting comment I found on HackerNews (HN):

This post was definitely demoted by HN. It stayed in the first position for less than 5 minutes and, as it quickly gathered upvotes, it jumped straight into 24th and quickly fell off the first page as it got 200 or so more points in less than an hour.

I'm 80% confident HN tried to hide this link. It's the fastest downhill I've noticed on here, and I've been lurking and commenting for longer than 10 years.

Well that all reads like extortion.

"Pay us money or we will destroy your business." Pretty cut and dry extortion. The entire article was infuriating to read.

You think we're hitting that point where line go up must wreck lives?

We hit that point centuries ago, if not millennia.

Yeah probably, I always get curious when a controversy involving a company starts up because I want to see what happens next

Not a huge surprise, they've got a long history of doing all kinds of scumbag shit. Nobody should be surprised when the leopard eats their face.
