Yep. Same for most of Asia too.

Cloudflare's filters are basically straight up racist.

I have stopped using so many sites due to their use of Cloudflare.

If 90% of your problem users come from 1-2 countries, seems pretty sensible to block that country. I know I have 0 paying users in those countries, so why deal with it? Let them go fight it out doing bot wars in local sites

  • Keep in mind, this is literally why stereotypes and racism exists. It’s the exact same process/reasoning.

    • No, racism would be “I won’t deal with customers of Chinese ethnicity irrespective of their country of operation”.

      Blocking Chinese (or whatever) IPs because they are responsible for a huge amount of malicious behavior is not racist.

      Frankly I don’t care what the race of the Chinese IP threat actor is.

Well, not racist per-se - if you visit the countries (regardless of race) you’re screwed too.

Geo-location-ist?
