Mindcontrol programs, Tuskegee experiments, dropping biological agents on us civilians, distributing metric tons of crack cocaine, arent really rumors at this point. In this day and age if anyone thinks they are doing better things than the now public mistakes of the past I would advise to hold their beer.

Was going to say, isn't this the whole point of what they do? Gain some assets, kill some assets, so no one really knows what they are up to.

Who says that's true? I always thought the people who got hired were just easily controlled and had enough dirt on them that they'd never act outside of their interests.

How little they spend? What's that about the trillions in defence that go missing each year?

They explained pretty clearly why they think that's the case. You're both right though. It's likely not the case that cloud flare is the only company conducting and cooperating with government agencies to do these types of things. In my opinion it would be very silly to assume that.

In the USA this is happening with every other device you own. Then it's bought and sold freely on the open market. Probably to other countries. That's been going on for a decade or so... If you are concerned about a nation state doing bad things with your data, the most immediate threat is likely the nation you live in. Right? Maybe not for military personnel, but most people aren't that.
