   Whenever you see someone recommend Cloudflare or something else that decrypts and re-encrypts TLS for something, esp. for something related to open social media or media storage etc., reply with this picture from the Snowden leaks

     @pojntfx Plus the re-encrypt bit on those MITMs-as-a-service so far seems to be entirely optional, so you can literally get the "Traffic in clear text here" for everyone between the MITM and the actual host in addition to the MITM.

     @pojntfx is there a prediction market on "cloudflare is the feds" so I can retire someday

     @migratory Look at the people they just funded. They are also in the US, so the CLOUD act applies to them. Doesn't matter if they are feds or not, the feds have pretty much unlimited power over them.
