00:00I always thought of Cloudflare as sort of the plucky little brother with five big brothers
00:04and we could kind of pick a fight and then they would help us finish it
00:07and those five big brothers were Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Facebook Meta
00:13and regardless of what you think of those companies
00:18those companies have been the defenders of the internet
00:21and we, about a year and a half ago, we lost, we and Google were sued in France
00:27over a product that we give away for free which is a DNS resolver product
00:32for those of you who are technical, we have a product called 1.1.1.1 which is an IP address
00:37and it helps make sure that everything you do online is a little bit faster
00:41and again we just give it away for free to consumers
00:43and we were sued in a French court and the French court basically said
00:47we're going to make a list of websites and if we put a website on that list
00:50you have 24 hours to block it and if you don't block it you're going to face a fine
00:54block it globally and again these aren't even customers of ours
00:59these are just things that get blocked. Google lost the court case as well
01:03they have a similar service called 8.8.8.8.8.
01:06For 1.1.1.1 we do about a trillion, actually two trillion now
01:10inquiries, requests to this service every single day
01:14but Google does 20 trillion so we're still much younger brother
01:19what's terrifying about that to me in the first order is that this is a French court
01:26in a small county in France that has said that they have the right to decide
01:30what can and cannot be on the internet globally
01:32and that's incredibly disturbing and so we called Google up and we said
01:36hey, big brother, like we know how to fight this
01:39let's go in, you know, across the air traffic control system, the train system, the government
01:45they all use our services, let's just say that in 30 days if we don't find a resolution here
01:51we're just going to turn them off in France
01:52and the Google team said you're absolutely right
01:55this is a terrible ruling
01:56but we don't have the appetite for another fight right now
02:00and so good luck
02:03but you're on your own
02:04and we hear something similar from Apple
02:08and we hear something similar from Facebook meta
02:10and we hear something similar from Microsoft
02:11and Amazon
02:12and I think that, you know, it's a little bit like the Lilliputians
02:17that they've gotten kind of pulled down
02:21these internet giants by all of the different nicks and cuts of regulation around the world
02:27and again, that might be right
02:30that might be fair
02:31they may have made mistakes that they should be punished for
02:34but the consequence is that no one is standing up for the internet today
02:38and so I think what I...
