If they actually cared about how they impact people, the minimum they could do is give 24 hours warning to exit positions. This shows they absolutely do not care.

How does it do this? If Cloudflare is censoring DNS records, users can switch to another DNS server.

Or have Polymarket themselves put Cloudflare in front of their services? If so, how do we know Cloudflare initiated this, not Polymarket themselves?

We know because reports on the Polymarket Discord began with reports about Cloudflare blocking, and later on Polymarket added the trading restriction on their end. If the initiative to block had come from Polymarket, these events would have unfolded in reverse order.

CloudFlare is the main censorship provider on the internet. I don't know what you're asking?
