Yes it is, but it is like a protection racket.

Edward Snowden revealed the extent to which the US Government and the tech corporations had made it policy to spy on all our internet traffic. Those concerned with internet privacy pushed back by implementing https everywhere.

How do you break end to end encryption like https? You put a man in the middle.

So who you think forces everyone to use MITM servers like Cloudflare by carrying out DDOS attacks against their platforms if they don't?

We know the US Government is monitoring all the internet traffic yet when these DDOS attacks take place they just look the other way because they and their agencies and the tech corporations are just one big criminal regime that bypasses constitutional protections by using private corporations to do the dirty work.
