Question - what do you do when the site is hacked and your biometrics are compromised? Issue new ones?

I feel like anyone surprised by this isn’t familiar with the Kennedy family history.

You can validate that against user telemetry data expected from a browser.

I’ve been assuming this was going to happen since it’s been haphazardly implemented across the web. Are people just now realizing it?

I personally read this as “one quarter admit they did it to get people to quit”. If you think these folks are always transparent and honest, think again. They’re just trying to say whatever gets them the least amount of bad PR

This is effectively a layoff without benefits.

Yes, you can put it in the capitol building. They’ve exempted themselves from OSHA regs…

This is just it, it can barely handle manage my lighting system. How am I going to trust it to make purchases? Brought to you by the same people who can’t keep fake reviews off their platform.

Nobody expects it to be free. But it used to operate with far less intrusive ads. Also, people didn’t use ad blockers until they got worse.

They absolutely should have outlined a traffic limit for the $250 a month plan. That’s on Cloudflare for allowing it.

That said, if you make wildly excessive use of that loophole it probably shouldn’t surprise you if they do something like this. They called it “trust and safety” because it allows them to do anything they want under the guide of security.

Really, they didn’t define their service clearly and wanted to fire them as a customer unless they paid up for what they felt they were owed.

Realistically, this is why you pay for Akamai. You don’t get these shenanigans.

How the fuck were they still on a $250 dollar a month plan when they pumped through $2000 a month worth of traffic? That’s shady on the companiy’s part and Cloudflare shouldn’t have allowed it to happen in the first place.

Each party played their part here and did shitty things. Sounds like the tech equivalent of a crackhead arguing about selling stuff to the pawn shop employee.
