Many websites are down, so much for decentralised internet.

maybe it's a bad idea to put the entirety of the backbone of the internet on one or two private companies.

    Cloudflare's dominance is a huge problem exactly for this reason. Having a single point of failure is a huge risk, and it's surprising that governments don't view this as being a matter of national security.

    As a side note, and not to "well ackshully", but Cloudflare isn't a backbone provider. But your point still stands lol.
