CloudFlare is dystopic. It centralizes even the part of the Internet that hadn't been centralized before. It is a perfect Trojan horse to bypass all encryption. And it chooses who accesses (a considerable chunk of) the Internet and who doesn't.
Anubis looks much better than this.

Isn't any hosting provider also this?
Not necessarily.
FaaS: Yes.
IaaS: Only if you do TLS termination at their gateway, otherwise not really, they'd need to get into your operating system to get the keys which might not always be easy. They could theoretically MITM the KVM terminal when you put in your disk decryption keys but that seems unlikely.
It's literally insane. After Snowden, how the fuck did we ended up with a single US company terminating almost every TLS connection?
