Right now.

But everybody is also moving into their castle. Many for free.

They are not allowed to let people do that unless they have an argument that, somehow, this makes money for the owners of Cloudflare. Maybe that's in the form of good publicity. Maybe they're hoping to set up some tollbooths at the castle gate, once enough people are inside and the other options have withered for lack of customers.

If they are storing a this data anyway to make the thing work (so you can go and un-upvote the thing you upvoted five years ago), how is "privacy" reduced if they also have the as system decide to show you an ad because people who upvoted that thing tend to click on the ad?

No new people or businesses are being given any new information bout anyone. Is it because what used to be a passive database is now starting to think, and your privacy is infringed because the system itself is now looking at you when you didn't expect it to?

We shouldn't judge anyone with prejudice; that's in the word. We must treat all people as humans; not doing that is a Nazi idea. We should treat signing up with the Nazis as evidence, and act accordingly to prevent Nazis from running around doing and saying Nazi things.

Getting stuff onto F-Droid is hard; you have to design for their build system.

Google Play has a thing where if you design for their build system, they will do all the builds and hold the signing keys. So then you don't have to worry about keeping a signing key safe from various malicious government agencies.

Can't electric cars also charge, slowly, at any random power outlet? While gas cars need an actual gas station?

Soon, they will automate the process of buying weird t-shirts, rendering us redundant.

What's an illegitimate interest?

If you don't have your code report in at all, then you have no idea how many people are using it or what features they use the most. So when someone says "how many people use the thing? We need to prove it is useful so people will pay us to make it" then you can't answer. Or if someone says "that feature is hard to maintain, can we just ditch it?" you either have to leave it in or risk ditching a very popular feature.

I'm not angry. I'm trying to get inside Scully's head.

Just because you had aliens last week doesn't mean that you can have Bigfoot this week. Blurry photos and poorly substantiated ravings don't become good evidence of things until you get a lot more genre savvy.

And just because the thing you have matches Bigfoot on points one, five, and six doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be like Bigfoot on points two through four. Especially if there's not a unifying theory of Bigfootness behind them and they're just a list of aforesaid poorly substantiated ravings.
