A CDN in front of a website hides the real host, but it does not make the site untouchable. Major CDNs run abuse processes that forward complaints to the hosting provider and, for certain report types, disclose who that provider is.
With the host identified, a legal notice setting out the false statements of fact and the harm they cause can be filed where it has to be answered.
Figures marked “as published” are the client-reported results of the operation. Client identities are shared only with consent.
