Cloudfares CEO was guaranteeing that they have an external auditors to ensure the company keeps its word. I'm asking whether the same auditors can ensure that the CEO himself won't decide one morning to go against this word wrt this topic. In the same way that a ToS might state "we will never sell your data to third parties" and a CEO can't break that promise, what guarantee beyond "some external people are looking at what we do" and "oh, just trust me" do we actually have? Im asking if the auditors will also guarantee the CEOs word.
This is relevant as the CEO has previously woken up one morning after a troublesome sleep and it has been argued, gone against his word (for good and anti nazi reasons). Many argue that he was entirely within his right to do so, and he was! So in this case, would he be entirely within his right to start monitoring all that data. As he asks, paraphrasing: "what more can I do to ensure my word is good."
