You do realize that your ISP/host/transit provider also complies with subpoenas and court orders, right? This doesn’t change anything.

Cloudflare is not that much different:

>Cloudflare requires valid legal process such as a subpoena or a foreign government equivalent of a subpoena before providing this type of information to either foreign or domestic government authorities or civil litigants.

https://www.cloudflare.com/transparency/

>It is our policy to notify our customers of a subpoena or other legal process requesting their customer or billing information before disclosure of information, whether that legal process comes from the government or private parties involved in civil litigation, unless legally prohibited.

No, Cloudflare is not acting inappropriately at all.

This is standard industry practice, not just in the U.S., but also in Europe and the UK.

Hosting providers, telcos, social media platforms, and other similar entities generally comply with court orders or subpoenas directed at their customers.

It’s uncommon for these companies to challenge such orders unless there’s a very compelling legal reason to do so - i.e. some crazy demand.
