Trump doesn't need to block European access to Cloudflare when Europe already blocks European access to Cloudflare on weekends. In Spain and Italy. And yet, this hasn't deterred European businesses from using Cloudflare and blocking their own customers.
Great, more misinformation. "Europe" doesn't block access to Cloudflare on weekends in either Spain nor Italy. Source: I live in Spain, and I'm affected by the blocks you're referring to, that happen because of shitty Spanish judges forcing Spanish ISPs to block access to specific Cloudflare properties.
Why not take even two seconds to check if what you're guessing about, might actually be correct or not? Or the goal is just FUD here?

Maybe because the impact of these blocks aren't as large as you allude to? Things change, these blocklists get updated. What was blocked 6 months ago no longer is, when these anti-piracy blocks happen.
Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with these blocks at all, and AFAIK, they break both national laws and wider "rights", but lets not pretend it's bigger than what it is in reality.
If anything, you're the one misinforming. I have no interest in soccer and every time there is a match I find out immediately because they like to knock down everything they see in the same general direction. I've even been in the situation of needing to do work for overseas companies in the evening and had to get on a VPN because they were just blocking random stuff and I couldn't install some dependency because the repository was blocked. Last time it happened was last week. My non technical friend was also complaining about some of her uni stuff being blocked recently as well. Maybe you're lucky because only use YouTube and Twitter and don't notice too many sites blocked, but the moment you go outside of big tech your chances are 50/50 you will probably come accross one or two blocked sites if you're not on a VPN.
