IANAL but a face-value evaluation of this policy seems unlikely to shield Cloudflare from either civil or criminal liability for illegal activity? I know the DMCA provides a certain degree of immunity to web hosts (regarding copyrighted content in particular) but after abuse is reported I believe there's a timeline where action must be taken or they lose their immunity, right? Does a similar law not exist for content that's already always illegal (such as hosting C&C servers for/distributing malware)?
