Since LaLiga has no qualms with blocking Cloudflare IP's that could be used for emergency services. A cautionary tale:

In 2025, Optus suffered a network outage that prevented emergency calls (triple-0 in Australia) for nearly 14 hours. During this period, four people died, including an eight-week-old baby. The outage was reportedly caused by a botched firewall upgrade that affected up to 600 households in South Australia alone.

It seems "move fast and break things" has infected the telcos too.

In any case, depending on Cloudflare for emergency services seems an extraordinarily stupid idea.

‘Move slow and break things’ would be a more accurate description. These shortcomings aren’t about innovation, they’re about cost.
