I, as a lone user have even LESS leverage over Cloudflare, or the Mozilla
Foundation, to whom I am not even a customer. More disturbingly, the
Mozilla Foundation is a US corporation, subject to (gagged) FISA warrants.
Considering one of the biggest surveillors in the world is the US
government, surely you can see how maybe concentrating all the DNS traffic
into the hands of a single US corporation (the Mozilla Foundation) might
not be the greatest plan.
