More of how crazy this is: the order fining us notes that Cloudflare had just under $8 million in Italy-based revenue in 2024. But the scheme allows “up to 2% of GLOBAL REVENUE” for damages. Using global revenue is further example of the extra-judicial overreach. #absurd

Why it worked

Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact

Written for: Founders and operators
