Cloudflare Transparency Update: Joining Cloudflare’s Flock of (Warrant) Canaries

Cloudflare has released its transparency report for the second half of 2018, detailing its practices regarding user data and interactions with law enforcement agencies. The company added three new "warrant canaries" to its list of things it has never done, which are intended to address changes in technology and global regulation. These include not modifying customer content at the request of law enforcement or another third party, not modifying the intended destination of DNS responses at the request of a third party, and not weakening, compromising, or subverting any of its encryption at the request of law enforcement or another third party. The report also includes new reporting on requests for user information from foreign law enforcement agencies and non-law enforcement government agencies.
