alt Hacker NewsI wonder if Flock + Cyble can be sued for fraud. There are 5 elements in a fraud:
Misrepresentation of Fact
Knowledge of Falsity
Intent to Induce Reliance
Justifiable Reliance
Resulting DamagesReplies

The "resulting damages" is pretty small though, they just had to move off of cloudflare. I'm not sure it would be worth it, especially if the other side doesn't end up paying their legal costs.
Cloudflare would have to bring that suit since they were the ones defrauded. The site owners probably can't sue Cloudflare because of their contract. So the site owners probably have to go basic "tortious interference" and be ready to show actual damages.
