I can only imagine conspiracy theories flying around about government partnership with Cloudflare.

  There doesn’t need to be any conspiracy theories when governments will often use their leveraged positions to get something from companies and punish them severely if they don't comply. If I remember correctly, there was a certain LEA which approached an US ISP for an informal surveillance request, they refused, and the LEA retaliated by cancelling their contract. I’m failing to find it, so I’d be happy if someone can provide a source.

    That sounds vaguely like Qwest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwest#Refusal_of_NSA_surveillance_requests https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwest#Refusal_of_NSA_surveilla...

  Verisign IS the conspiracy.
