This is awesome. So, smart companies have monitoring for their brand keywords across key websites/web and jump in to respond the nip the bud before things go bad.

I had read somewhere that Gitlab does the same. They have a "How to respond discussions on Hackernews." or something in that line.




This is often true, but [un]fortunately in this case you're letting everyone know you don't really have any idea what you're talking about. JGC is active in non-CloudFlare discussions on HN all the time, and is the CTO. He'd probably be in this thread regardless of his role.


So why is it even necessary hes on this (particular) thread?


They fucked up, possibly breaking the law in the process. It's just fire extinguisher, nothing really awesome.

Regarding GitLab, it[1] was discussed here[2].

Only for the easy or tech things though. I was curious if I'll trigger some response about CloudFlare enabling targeted abuse online, but that topic seems untouchable to people doing monitoring.


They're on here quite a bit and regularly contribute.
