    What poorly thought out language. First they call FCC “tough”, then they go on to imply that it’s surprising that this wasn’t a requirement before. IMO “tough” would be something that exceeds ordinary expectations.

      Agreed. Cloudflare level of transparency should really be the minimum in cases of security breaches for all companies with any user/customer information. And when found to be purposefully hiding that information you should have your right to do business at least suspended in the US.

      A policy as such would -

      1. Incentives disclosure (or your essentially DOA in US)
      2. Increase the IT budget and force more security over profit (because again the alternative is no profit otherwise - or at least many detailed explanations on how the company still isn’t doing anything)

      EDIT - spelling/autocorrect battle
