A user might download images and yes, if they download images Cloudflare will show which datacenters have cached that image. They might also install an APK you give them or run that taylor_swift_concert.mp4.exe as well.
If I host an image on Cloudflare and put the URL here, I'll know which CF datacenters are near HN users who bother clicking the link as well.
