Why use CloudFlare when you already using AWS backend? / Please consider removing CloudFlare.

To whom it may concern,

I wanted to bring to your attention a few concerns I have regarding your website's use of CloudFlare.

CloudFlare is Blocking Access and Compromising Privacy

I've noticed that when trying to access your Perplexity website, CloudFlare is preventing me from doing so by displaying error screens or requiring heavy Javascript-based CAPTCHA verification.
This is quite frustrating and can be a significant barrier to accessing your content.
Moreover, according to the information provided at https://0xacab.org/dCF/deCloudflare/-/blob/master/readme/en.md , CloudFlare is a global man-in-the-middle (MITM) proxy
that can block innocent users from accessing websites.
This raises concerns about the privacy and security of my personal information, as I do not wish to provide it to a third-party service like CloudFlare.
CloudFlare is blocking innocent users and also compromising their privacy including mine.

Therefore I would strongly encourage you to consider hosting your Perplexity website without the use of CloudFlare.
This would not only improve accessibility for your users but also ensure that their personal information is not being routed through a third-party service.
By hosting your website properly, you can provide a better user experience and demonstrate your commitment to privacy and security.

In summary, I kindly request that you remove CloudFlare from your website and host it in a way that does not compromise the accessibility or privacy of your users.
