Goodbye, section 2.8 and hello to Cloudflare’s new terms of service
On May 16, 2023, Cloudflare announced updates to its Terms of Service to simplify and modernize them for users. The changes address confusion surrounding content-based restrictions, particularly regarding the use of their CDN service. They have clarified that customers can serve video and other large files using the CDN, provided the content is hosted by a Cloudflare service like Stream, Images, or R2. This allows developers to confidently innovate on Cloudflare's Developer Platform while leveraging its benefits. Furthermore, they streamlined their Self-Serve Subscription Agreement and removed an old restriction on benchmarking. These improvements aim to enhance the user experience and encourage innovation on their platform.
