Data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA variations) will likely become stricter. Evaluate each provider's data handling practices and compliance. Cloudflare's emphasis on privacy, including its commitment to not using DNS query data for ad targeting (unlike Google's potential use), might be a deciding factor for privacy-conscious users. Changes to data localization laws may force providers to change where data is stored.
