This. We're centralizing all the websites to flow in the hands of one player who can decide who can or cannot access a website, not to mention the fact that they have the capability to know who accesses which website across a larger and larger portion of the net. De facto we're giving them the keys to the internet. But who's them? And who will it be in the future?
I understand that they offer cheap solutions to very real problems, but we keep making the same mistake we made with Google and other tech giants. While they are acting in a commendable way now, I fear for how much influence they'll have when they will inevitably drop their "Don't be evil".
To me, another company needs to step up and try to compete in the same sector. The problem is that the alternatives, like Sucuri and Stackpath that are reasonably cheap are _terrible_. I deal with both on a day to day and it’s horrendous to deal with :/.
