That's gotta be like actually illegal unless cloud flair is to blame and then how did they reach your server?
I mean, you have to modify it of course. You can't literally blame cloudflare.
But you can modify everything so that it's a funny joke that still looks like the cloudflare error that people know.
Just call it cloudfare.
douclflare
letter-spacing*Honestly, unless I see the correct version, my brain defaults to this name as the correct one.
It's almost certainly against cloudflares tos, and against the open source license terms for the website, so if cloudflare gets wind about you doing this, they can probably send you a cease and desist, and then cancel your contract with them.
If they're really pissed, and you run a decently large site that regularly runs into errors, they might be able to successfully argue slander in court.
It's trademark infringement.
Yeah, at this point Cloudflare should just trademark network outages.
You know Amazon would try to crash that attempt.
Can they do anything if you don’t actually use them though lol
The slander bit.
