There will always be some kind of authority.

Sure, I never said there isn't, or that there should not be. I only said that this question is raised.

In an anarchist context this can be community consensus, I guess. In nation state context, this can be a government decision or a court order. And so on.

What I am trying to underscore here is that the fact that a company's decision to not do business with a particularly toxic customer should not be of such immense consequence. And the only reason it is is because of CloudFlare's position.

CloudFlare's position is a bigger problem than CloudFlare's policies.
