Content delivery network CloudFlare says it has received 50 court orders in the first half of this year, more than double that clocked in the whole of 2014.

The statistics, which do not include search warrants, were revealed in the web defender's latest transparency report show it received 22 court orders in the first half of last year and 22 in the second.

Of those received this year only a small number accounts for the record 2120 affected domains and the 96 linked accounts.

Many use this service to enhance their sites. In the process your site becomes lumped in with a much larger "target" for intrusion as YOUR content has been copied to the Cloudflare edge servers, etc. for the benefit of a CDN network... Does that expose your content to other access under court orders?
