I'm surprised more cloudflare alternatives aren't popping up

I remember reading a conspiracy years ago that cloudflare is CIA operated and funded. The company came out of the middle of no where and offered hosting far cheaper than anyone else. This allows the CIA to easily access your data if it's directly in their database.

I mean I wouldn't be surprised. It does have an awkwardly robust monopoly on what is actually relatively simple technology. Kind of like google, which was also CIA funded. Kind of like Tesla, which is also CIA funded. etc etc. IN-Q-TEL is their investment fund front company they use for these tech companies. So many of the big giants are hand-selected to succeed and injected with money, after they show they're willing to play ball.
