Cloudflare terminates SSL for all customers behind their DDOS protection, by necessity.

GP is technically correct, but is tilting at windmills at best, making veiled accusations at worst.

Oh, interesting. I didn't realize that.
Was it veiled? Sorry. Cloudflare is an arm of the US government helping to eavesdrop on all internet traffic.
All US companies follow US law. It sounds goofy, I know, but it's a cultural thing.

When you operate at Cloudflare's scale, you receive a lot of inquiries from law enforcement in all countries. See also Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, AT&T, Verizon, Linode, Hurricane Electric, et cetera ad inifinitum.

If your accusation is more specific than that, you'll want to rethink the word "arm" which is clearly incorrect and makes you sound like a loon.
