#CloudFlare #DownTime #Internet #Capitalism

Large parts of the internet were down yesterday. Cloudflare claims this was a configuration error in their anti-bot system and decidedly *not an attack*: https://blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-2025-outage/

I disagree. The current flood of AI bots scraping the web is an attack. A constant and permanent attack by commercial big players on the very resources that sustain them.

I you will, you could read it as another example of "cannibal capitalism" devouring its own life support system.
