What's the mechanism for this claim? Are you suggesting there was, previously, any uncertainty regarding Cloudflare's ability to (a) know which domains are hosted with them or (b) to look at those websites?
Because it seems as if they have always had the ability to "control what happens with their networks".
Same mechanism for any internet service provider - immunity is granted under the auspice that you are not exerting control over the flow of information as a supposedly neutral provider. The second you don't do that, you're not neutral and you're aiding and abetting. This is how IXL Memphis got a big bite in their butt in the late late 90s.
