That is something we'll need to figure out. Just because it requires some work to figure out where to draw the line, it doesn't make it wrong to draw one.

Banks are generally required to check that their customers are not laundering money. In a lot of countries it's illegal to buy or sell goods that you know are very likely stolen.

It don't think it's outrageous to expect more action from Cloudflare when they must know that their service is used for protecting criminal sites.

Relatedly I'd want the betting companies whose ads are shown on these illegal pages to have some amount of responsibility for where their ads are shown, and the same goes for well-renowned websites that show clearly deceiving ads.

This law on banks is a bad law. It doesn't stop money laundering, it does make it hard for lots of people to have bank accounts. We should abolish that law, not copy it.
