Applying Human Rights Frameworks to our approach to abuse

Cloudflare's approach to addressing online abuse is based on the principles of proportionality, transparency, and continuous learning. The company strives to strike a balance between protecting users from harmful content while respecting their right to access information freely. In cases where content is deemed illegal or prohibited by law, Cloudflare takes steps to remove it or limit its visibility on the Internet. However, in many cases, the company prefers not to take action against websites that are merely unpopular or controversial. In addressing abuse online, Cloudflare prioritizes protecting users from harmful content while respecting their right to access information freely.
