We're talking about take-downs, not wiretapping. Don't muddy the waters trying to equate them.
I'm not aware of cases where a government has coerced someone like level3 to drop a peering relationship to an ISP in a foreign government or conduct BGP hijacking to take down a website under that governments jurisdiction.
Cloudflare is a significant risk for anyone pushing the boundaries of US laws in a different company.
- Kalium 9y agoIndeed! We are discussing take-downs, rather than wiretapping. You're completely right, and I failed to be sufficiently clear previously. Any level of ISP might be tasked with taking down content that flows over its wires. For example, at one point a Pakistani ISP accidentally black-holed YouTube worldwide (briefly) through BGP while attempting to comply with a court ruling to block it.
