Cloudflare auto-blocking site after fake abuse reports

Original: Ask HN: Fake abuse reports keep auto-blocking my site on Cloudflare

A developer says their website keeps being automatically blocked on Cloudflare after what they describe as fake abuse reports, and they are asking other technologists how to deal with it. The complaint has drawn attention because it highlights how automated abuse-report systems can apparently be weaponised to take sites offline with little human review.

Why now: It raises concerns that automated abuse-report systems can be exploited to censor or knock sites offline.
