Yeah... Of course! To join this marketing alliance, Google decided, more than a year ago, to demand that CF sever ties with exactly one of their customers.

Apart from how wacky that conspiracy theory is: Do you believe you can devalue Cloudflare's stated motivation by replacing it with a financial motive instead?

Because it would seem to me that your theory would just shift that moral motivation to Google, no?

Unless, of course, Google themselves are in turn pressured by some even more powerful group. Who's that? George Soros? Hillary Clinton?
