Re: backbones filtering unsanctioned sites

If it's been decided that BGP communities will now be used for purposes
other than internet traffic control, then perhaps Cloudflare would also be
willing to put the hundreds of DDoS-attack-for-hire services they protect
on a single IP so we can blackhole those as well? At least then we can use
BGP communities to fight against internet censorship instead of engaging in
it.

So risk avoidance on the part of the 100k other sites hosted by CF is now
a conspiracy?

I'm surprised it took this many years for something like this to happen.
Wonder which LE in which country...

Either way seems nothing too suspicious is going on here.

Even more concerning, on the surface it looks like there could be some
cooperation by Cloudflare. If you look at the list of domains that contain
an A record for that IP, it's almost all torrent sites and mirrors. Could
they have placed all these domains behind that IP for a purpose like this?
