If someone makes a Facebook post containing an illegal threat of violence, we don't ban all of Facebook for it.

This is such a bad faith comparison and in no way related. Facebook hosts its own content/infrastructure. Cloudflare's DDoS protection service and Facebook as a whole are not related.

A more accurate claim would be, if someone makes a Facebook post containing an illegal threat of violence, they (Facebook) _do_ ban the account of who made a post containing illegal threats of violence.

    Pretend for the sake of argument that Facebook did use Cloudflare, or that my example were about some other platform that does.

    Exactly my point. When someone does something banworthy on Facebook, we let Facebook ban just that one person, rather than banning all of Facebook.
