Somewhat to my surprise, my SiteTruth system is allowed to read "bakadesuyo.com", the site with which the article author had a problem. Sitetruth uses a user-agent like "Sitetruth rating system", and makes no attempt to pretend to be a browser. Cloudflare let it through. No capcha. No error messages.

Can't conclude much from this; Sitetruth has been reading sites openly for years in a well defined way from a well known IP address, examining them for ownership info about once a month. Although it looks at millions of sites, it never hits any one site very often. From Cloudflare's perspective, that's harmless.
