While getting stuck at a Cloudflare anti-bot screen, I noticed they've added some "fun" tips while you train their AI to detect boats or planes. One of these read "Did you know there are Verified Bots that are allowed around the internet because they help provide services we use day to day?"
I personally find it worriesome how Cloudflare is trying to confuse both devs and non-devs alike with these misleading stories about how the internet works, all while using it to grow their own influence and gatekeeping ability. What would your mother think when presented with such an authoritative message?
