Hello,

I know that KatFile has been operating for many years and has gone through numerous domain changes.

Because of that, I believe your team has much more experience than anyone else in dealing with situations like this.

However, I would like to share some observations from the past two years that I hope may be helpful.

First of all, if you believe Cloudflare's recent action may have been based on a misunderstanding, I would recommend not only changing to a new domain, but also formally appealing the decision.

Over the past month or two, I have noticed that your team has started reviewing reported files much more carefully than before. Although occasional mistakes still happen, the overall situation has improved significantly.

This also makes me believe that your team has probably realized that a considerable number of these large-scale, long-term, and repeated reports may not be accurate.

Therefore, besides continuing to review reported files, I hope you will also consider submitting a formal appeal to Cloudflare and asking them to provide:

The specific URLs that were determined to violate the policy.
The specific content considered to be in violation.
The evidence used to support that determination.
Whether the content was manually reviewed.
Whether the decision can be reconsidered through a formal review.

If those files do not actually contain child sexual abuse material (CSAM), I believe it is worth requesting a review rather than allowing malicious, large-scale, and potentially inaccurate reports to continue affecting your service.

I would also like to share another case that is very similar to this situation.

Some time ago, the KeepShield support team kindly provided me with a screenshot of the abuse notice they had received, including the subject line and the source of the report.

According to KeepShield, after receiving the notice, they actually reviewed the reported links.

They told me that none of my reported links contained any child sexual abuse material.

In addition, KeepShield also showed me some of the complaint notices they had received. I noticed that many of these reports contained highly repetitive wording, formatting, and structure. Some of them also included political statements that were unrelated to the reported content itself. I cannot determine whether those statements influenced the handling of the reports, but I believe this pattern is worth bringing to your attention.

However, the same abuse reports were also sent to their domain provider, and KeepShield subsequently received a warning.

To avoid risking their own service, they ultimately had no choice but to remove all of my links.

Based on many complaint notices I have encountered over the past two years, including those shared by KeepShield, I have also noticed that many reports use extremely similar wording, writing style, and formatting. In my opinion, many of them show characteristics commonly associated with AI-generated text.

Because of this, I suspect that AI may already be being used to generate or organize large-scale complaint campaigns, making it possible to submit a very large number of reports within a short period of time.

If that is indeed the case, I believe this type of large-scale reporting campaign with highly repetitive content is likely to become even more common in the future.

I have also noticed that, over the past month or two, your team has begun reviewing reported files much more carefully. I believe this suggests that you have also realized that not every report is accurate or made in good faith.

For that reason, I believe this provides a strong basis for explaining the current situation to Cloudflare and requesting a formal review of these large-scale reporting campaigns.

I understand that Cloudflare receives a very large number of reports from around the world every day, so they may not be aware of the broader context that has developed over the past two years.

For that reason, I believe that if KatFile could compile examples from the past two years—including cases of incorrect reports, the results of your own manual reviews, and the overall pattern of repeated reporting campaigns—and present them through a formal appeal, it would help Cloudflare better understand the overall situation rather than viewing this as an isolated incident.

If no one continues to challenge reports that may be inaccurate or based on false allegations, I am concerned that the same cycle will continue to repeat itself.

After all, changing domains only restores the service temporarily; it does not address the root cause of the problem.

My intention is not to suggest confronting any government or organization. Rather, I hope that whenever your team confirms that reported content has been misclassified, you will consider making full use of the formal appeal process available to you. If Cloudflare is provided with sufficient evidence that some large-scale reports are inaccurate, I believe it may help
