# Codeberg's Censorship, Attack on Transparency, and Attack on Cloudflare Resistance
Codeberg hosted the Cloudflare-Tor project. In 2021, Codeberg took
down the project alleging libel.
## what the Cloudflare-Tor (CFT) project is
The Cloudflare-Tor (CFT) project is a non-profit charitable effort to
promote decentralization, network neutrality, and privacy with
Cloudflare (a top adversary of that cause) as the core focus. CFT
project provides a variety of free software tools to help protect the
general public from Cloudflare. An important component of protecting
the community from Cloudflare is documenting websites that subject
people to the harms of Cloudflare by maintaining a massive list of
websites to avoid.
Unlike other tech giant adversaries to the CFT cause such as GAFAM
(Google Amazon Facebook Apple Microsoft), Cloudflare operates
surreptitiously and largely unknown to the general public, despite
having access to ~20-30% of the world's web traffic. Their existence
is so much in the shadows that privacy orgs like EFF are largely
oblivious to the threat of it. Mainstream privacy orgs not only
neglect to protect web users from Cloudflare, but some of them
actually naively use Cloudflare themselves and unwittingly work
against their own interest and declared purpose. Some privacy and
ethics advice sites like
[Switching Software](https://switching.software) actually recommend
Cloudflare sites to those who entrust them to give advice pursuant to
their own stated purpose.
The problem is so rampant that it became important for the CFT
project's tracking of the Cloudflare problem to start keeping track of
organizations and the pseudo-anonymous aliases of representatives who
were spotted publicly promoting Cloudflare.
## Codeberg-inflicted censorship
Allegedly in response to complaints, Codeberg shut down the CFT
project and issued
[this statement](https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/423#issuecomment-187783)
to contributors, and posted
[this blog announcement](https://blog.codeberg.org/on-the-cloudflare-tor-takedown.html).
### Analysis of Codeberg's e-mail
> "target lists", with personal data, lists of employment status,
> social media identities,
Calling it a "target list" entails a presumption of how the list is
used. For example, if a threat actor wants to join the CFT project to
gain access to our internal operations, it is not CFT targeting them
but rather CFT avoiding being targeted by their adversary.
Transparency is essential in exposing the corporate bias behind the
information and advice you are getting. For example, a forum for talk
about bicycles might require Brompton representatives to be tagged as
such so that other users are aware of the bias behind their posts. It
would actually be reckless *not* to identify such conflicts of
interest. This is particularly important when dealing with Cloudflare
because they have proven to publish misinformation regularly.
Codeberg's move to conceal who represents a company ultimately
promotes corruption and deception.
CFT has also been attacked several times and sometimes at the hands of
insiders who gained trust by posing as those who support the CFT
cause.
Are forums hosted in Germany really forced to conceal such conflicts
of interest from the public? Unlikely.
For Codeberg to allege CFT tracks "personal data" with social media
identities is perversely deceptive. CFT did not track personal data
or dox any social media identities. The social media identities were
listed and only *public* data was shared -- data that is already
public on platforms like Twitter. Personally identifiable information
was not collected on social media aliases even if it was public.
> Publication of such data, no matter if true or not, without the
> explicit consent of the person in question is illegal in EU.
When a user posts a tweet, they do so with consent to the publication
of that tweet. If Codeberg's assertion above were true, then Nitter
would be banned in Germany for republishing the tweets of Germans. We
know this is not true because Germans have access to the Nitter
network.
Codeberg's false accusation of illegal activity came with destructive
removal of forked repositories
[without warning, without redress, and while refusing explanation](https://codeberg.org/shadow/SpywareWatchdog/issues/77#issuecomment-188170)
to the users whose data they destroyed.
In response, Codeberg
[claims](https://codeberg.org/shadow/SpywareWatchdog/issues/77#issuecomment-188178)
they had to act immediately to what they perceived as illegal
activity. Even if we were to accept that the already public data
somehow became sensitive merely by replication, the correct
non-reckless action is to quarantine the data in a non-public state
until court proceedings or settlement could commence. For Codeberg to
destroy people's work, and also destroy what they believed was
evidence of illegal activity was nothing short of reckless.
A take-down request implemented properly and fairly to all sides is
temporary and non-destructive of the artifacts.
> - This includes using personally identifiable information of other
> people without their consent for feigned commit author names and email
> addresses, potentially incriminating non-participants of acts of

This is just a statement of Codeberg's interpretation of law. Note
that Codeberg does not accuse CFT of this, as doing so would be libel
against CFT. So it's unclear what purpose this statement serves other
than to imply an accusation without stating it. Such weasel wording
is designed to deceive the public while dodging legal accountability.
> - Considering reports we received, a significant number of claims and
> statements were factually false.
CFT has received only one complaint. It involved one social media
alias that was listed and it turned out to be a misunderstanding
surrounding the word "*support*". The listed party claimed to not
personally condone Cloudflare and thus claimed to not be a Cloudflare
"supporter" on that basis. But investigation of
[public statements](https://codeberg.org/swiso/website/issues/141#issuecomment-69593)
by that individual revealed that the other party actually supported
Cloudflare operationally.

The mere existence of a list of Cloudflare supporters certainly does
*not* imply shaming. The list *can potentially* be used for shaming
or praising, as well as in countless ways orthogonal to both praise
and shame. Codeberg further produces no evidence that the list was
used for shaming (which should be quite easy to do if they've had
complaints on the scale that they allege).
It's important to establish bias so that readers can assess the
accuracy of statements made by someone who is biased. This is why
aliases of those entrusted with advice on matters of privacy were
collected. It's important to track the underlying bias behind privacy
advocacy sites to address the problem of detrimental advice.
### Analysis of Codeberg's Blog Announcement
Codeberg [said](https://blog.codeberg.org/on-the-cloudflare-tor-takedown.html):
> In the last couple of days, we have received multiple inquiries to
> remove **sensitive information** from the crimeflare/cloudflare-tor
> repository and all clones and forks of that repository hosted on
> Codeberg.org.
(emphasis added)
Data published by Twitter and public forums is not sensitive. Anyone
who posts in a public space and later has regrets, they have only
themselves to blame.
Privacy is like virginity: once you lose it, you can't have it back.
> We have been made aware that this repository contains lists of
> usernames that are either linked with their Codeberg profile or
> their social media accounts and allegedly blamed as Cloudflare
> supporters without an evidence
CFT was never asked for evidence. Only one complaint was received.
It was investigated and evidence was provided.
> We started a discussion with the maintainers of this repository and
> asked to remove these sensitive information, that are apparently for
> shaming people (defamation),
CFT did not "shame" or "defame" anyone, and no evidence was given to
that effect. Codeberg admitted earlier that their assumption is that
a list of Cloudflare supporters inherently shames people. Yet the
list is objective. It's for the reader to decide if the list is of
shame or of pride. No value judgment was expressed by the CFT
project.
> According to GDPR, we are obligued to remove sensitive user
> information as soon as a concerned person demands us to do so.
CFT complied. Even though the sole complaint lead to an investigation
that found the data accurate, it was removed anyway and therefore CFT
was (and remains) in compliance with the GDPR right to be forgotten.
Yet Codeberg still removed the project despite immediate compliance.
> People reaching out to us and to the maintainers of the repository
> itself tried to make clear that they do not consider themselves as
> Cloudflare-supporters, but critical opponents of this company, and
> thus could not even imagine a reason for being listed there.
CFT only received one complaint regarding one individual. CFT
complied with the GDPR.
> We can not accept anyone attacking and threatening us and our users
> (or anyone for that matter), or inciting others to do so.
This is weasel wording, as directly accusing CFT of attacking or
threatening Cloudflare supporters would constitute libel on the part
of Codeberg. So they try to imply it. These claims can only be
ignored in the absence of evidence.
