Cloudflare Urged to Rethink Abuse Handling Amid Spamhaus Criticism

Spamhaus criticizes Cloudflare’s abuse management policies, claiming they enable malicious actors to hide behind its services and citing blocklist statistics to support the concern. It urges Cloudflare to suspend DNS, reverse proxy, and CDN services for demonstrably abusive domains, arguing that current approaches prioritize cost and automation over security, and calls for stronger, collaborative abuse prevention to improve trust and safety.
