Out of the Clouds and into the weeds: Cloudflare’s approach to abuse in new products

What this post added

This post details Cloudflare's principled approach to handling abuse reports for new products, differentiating between conduit services (CDN, proxy) and storage services. For conduit services, it outlines forwarding complaints to hosting providers and addressing service abuse (phishing, malware) at the URL/domain level. For storage services (Stream, Workers), it describes reviewing complaints and disabling access based on valid legal takedown requests, particularly for copyright infringement. It also details the principled approach to government takedown requests, emphasizing narrow application and transparency.
