a) Cloudflare doesn't know about you. It sees an IP address.
b) If we follow your tortured logic then every hop along the path from your phone to Apple will have one more data point on you. That's thousands of companies a day.
I'm just griping that cloudflare has many eyeballs and sees most of the traffic on the internet at this point. How many websites have I used with Cloudflare DDoS protection that checks if I'm a bot by fingerprinting my device? They know plenty about me.
I'm also griping that "the data is encrypted !" is not a good enough excuse seeing as how we've known for years that the metadata is a bigger pot of gold for intelligence agencies. That my mac address is taking a photo and hitting a particular cell tower is pretty detailed information, even without knowing the content of the photo.
