   I have absolutely no reason to think Cloudflare is a covert CIA operation. In fact, I’m sure there are plenty of good reasons to think it isn’t. But if it were, pretty much everything it does is exactly what you'd expect from one.

      Of course it's not a CIA operation — that agency is foreign intelligence agency. The domestic intelligence agency is called NSA.

         Well, the problem with that is then you have to deal with the legalities of the USA. What you do instead is have the UK (and a couple other eyes, up to five or eighteen) do the spying on Americans, and in exchange, the Americans will spy on the UK. All perfectly extra-legal.
