I wonder how they will determine who they want to provide coverage to? Especially as there is no oversight or transparency as they are saying they will not publish the names of who they cover <i>(which makes sense from a technical perspective)</i><p>From their participation criteria it looks like anti-abortion groups, certain &#x27;white supremacist&#x27; movements and even the Westboro Baptist Church would all qualify for Project Galileo. Will CloudFlare offer protection to them?<p>The project also seems to have an international focus, so I wonder whether entities that are anti-democracy in the Middle East that the West has been fighting against politically (even militarily) would also qualify? <i>(I removed the names of some of those entities because I don&#x27;t want to get into a discussion as to who is pro&#x2F;anti democracy in the ME, etc)</i><p>Personally, I think it&#x27;s awesome that CloudFlare are offering this but it will be curious to see if there&#x27;s any editorialization.<p>I&#x27;d love to see CloudFlare elaborate on the criteria from the FAQ <i>&quot;It acts in the public interest, broadly defined.&quot;</i> as that creates massive ambiguity.

Putting their sensitive traffic in the hands of Cloudflare without giving users any choice.
