On the one hand, the Cloudflare article doesn’t smell bad to me. As someone who gets to pay attention to this type of thing, these kinds of things really do happen frequently, and mistakes are the most common cause.
If the US government had enough access to try to intentionally do this, they had enough access to snoop on traffic with methods that would not be visible to the outside world, and they would work more reliably than these BGP shenanigans. So I’d suggest you are right about the lack of trust, even if this particular event is probably not supporting evidence. I’d also agree with other posters that any such trust was misplaced in the first place.
The pilot restrictions definitely need a revamp. Any diagnosis or medication can greatly restrict you for a long time after, incentivizing avoiding treatment completely.
I wonder if you misunderstood what the commenter was saying. It isn’t that the goal of the companies is to make people sick as you suggest, it’s that the goal of the companies is to increase profits, and they don’t want concerns over people’s health to be a constraint on that goal.
But unlike some other pieces of the Ultra subscription you can’t share YouTube premium with family. So now I have both and Google has suggested a few times that I shouldn’t be doing that.

A more generous reading is that he was saying he didn’t plan on quitting and didn’t plan on changing his behavior to fit into any culture changes that he might disagree with. The mentioned privilege is that he could afford to be fired if that was the result, not that he was protected from being fired.
That’s a fun story! Asherons Call had something along those lines, https://massivelyop.com/2018/01/30/re-examining-the-signific... though it only really got interesting on one server. Sadly getting a repeat on todays emulators seems unlikely to be possible.
My memory of that wasn’t that dentists stopped recommending flossing, it was just an acknowledgment that there hadn’t been any research that showed a positive effect. And not that the research had failed, there just hadn’t been any at all. I think most dentists continued to recommend flossing.
