They get shit on a lot here. Why? What do they do and how is that different from other companies that offer similar services?

What I know of them: they offer DDS brute force/spam protection for websites.

    You won’t see it much in the wild, but there have been a few sporadic cases of suspicion where cloudflare may have removed or modified attachment files.
    Of course, there’s a chance those files were malware or that cloudflare didn’t do anything, but for now, there is a theory being formed that all the websites managed by cloudflare can have any of its data modified at will by cloudflare, making it a potential hub for tyranny, censorship and oppression.
