Piracy poses a major threat to the Premier League's broadcast rights, prompting it to take continued action against rogue streaming sites. Hoping to unmask the anonymous operators behind dozens of pirate sites, the league has obtained a DMCA subpoena against Cloudflare in the United States. While Cloudflare is expected to comply, the usability of the information it holds remains uncertain.

I was under the impression cloudflare was big enough to tell governments to fuck off, and I mistaken?

If Cloudflare wants to operate in a jurisdiction it has to follow its laws. They can fight them in court, but if a court orders them to do something they'll likely comply in some way or another.

E.g. UK wanted a backdoor in E2EE iCloud, so Apple disabled E2EE in the UK.

Corporations don't tell governments they like (eg.: nazis) to fuck off. Au contrainre.
