Cloudflare Joins CAI and Enables Content Credentials for 20% of the Internet (petapixel.com)

Cloudflare, the leading connectivity cloud company behind which 20% of the Internet’s traffic sits, launched a one-click Content Credentials system to track image authenticity across the internet and preserve accurate creator attribution.

This is a massive deal and a huge win for the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), which Cloudflare has also joined. Content Credentials, based on the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), allow publishers, creators, and regular web users to trace the origin of the media they view. It also ensures that creators can be accurately and consistently credited for their work.

Really? For DDOS and privacy protection?

I know Cloudflare is indeed a growing issue. But I think it’s growing because it’s really difficult to self host/provide some of their services.

Most providers like hetzner and contabo already provide ddos protection. No everyone needs ddos protection anyway and the privacy issue its not certain with cloudflare either normal would I argue with the costs are worth it.

Which ones? What for?

Really the only service of such extreme convenience I can't help but use it is cloudflare tunnels for quickly selfhosting and their cheap asf domain registrar.

Still, I don't host anything via cloudflare per se even as a noobie.

Not sure what else you need.

Porkbun is an alternative for the lower cost registrar part.

But I thought Cloudflare had great DDOS protection. And the comment I replied to says to just do it yourself.

Why did you skip over that?
