or if CloudFlare gets conscripted as the new PRISM or NSA censorship
PRISM and the NSA are not involved in censorship but they do like to ingest a lot of data, the more the merrier. Only certain members of CF would know if they are already looped in and would have signed scary things preventing disclosure if that were the case. I just assume everything going through a CDN is monitored since it is a MitM by design. A long while back Akamai got in a lot of trouble for some of their people selling data to a country in the middle east, I forgot which one.
The way the censorious game works in the Ministry of Truth a sub-committee in the DHS sends private messages to former federal employees that work in high positions at tech platforms and advises them what to censor giving the company a way to say they did not officially comply with censorship demands. I will let the Queen of the internet explain [1]. Letting federal employees message people outside of logged government chat platforms is problematic.
