While Cloudflare has been publishing transparency reports for a long time, this year we chose to revamp the report in light of new reporting obligations under the DSA, and our goal of making our reports both comprehensive and easy to understand. Before you dive into the reports, learn more about Cloudflare’s longstanding commitment to transparency reporting and the key updates we made in this year’s reports.
1H and 2H 2024 reports are now live.
In the vast majority of cases, Cloudflare is not the hosting provider of a website resolving to our IPs. In those cases we have no capacity to remove content hosted by others. In those cases we can place a phishing warning page (like Google safe browsing) to warn and educate users that they were nearly phished. If we simply terminated a website it would not remove the content, and the user wouldn’t learn or realize they almost just got phished. It’d be the worst of both worlds. In the rare case where we are the host we place a non-bypassable block in front to make protect users.
