Cloudflare auto-blocks site after fake abuse reports

Original: Ask HN: Fake abuse reports keep auto-blocking my site on Cloudflare

A site owner says Cloudflare keeps automatically blocking their website after what they describe as fake abuse reports, and they are asking other developers how to deal with it. The complaint has struck a chord with readers worried that automated abuse-handling systems can be weaponised to knock legitimate sites offline without meaningful human review or appeal.

Why now: Automated abuse-report systems are widely used, so claims that fake reports can trigger automatic blocking raise concerns about abuse and due process.
