Is the cure worse than the initial problem?
CloudfFlare now offers a solution to the so-called mixed content problem: http://forums.theregister.co.uk/forum/1/2016/09/20/cloudflare_offers_encryption_up_the_wazoo/
Re-writing every link as HTTPS Everywhere where they could, and where they cannot the green padlock is misleading.
They hope soon all of the internet has turned HTTPS Everywhere.

For the record the El Reg is also on American CloudFlare,
and they also dealt an additional little smear to tor-developers, in their article.

By the way CloudFlare implemented their own certificate incorrectly:
Would you trust them with half-baked e2e encryption?

From the crypto-report:

Certificate is not installed correctly

This is not a Symantec certificate.
Please contact the Certificate Authority for further verification.

Brian Krebs reports Google is now protecting him:
https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/09/the-democratization-of-censorship/

Today, I am happy to report that the site is back up — this time under Project Shield, a free program run by Google to help protect journalists from online censorship. And make no mistake, DDoS attacks — particularly those the size of the assault that hit my site this week — are uniquely effective weapons for stomping on free speech, for reasons I’ll explore in this post.
