Why would the French (or other) government not have agents planted in such a high-value place? It's almost without question that they do.

I make myself the same question every time I use US services. Which is why I want to drop them.
It seems rather unlikely to me that they do.
It seems unthinkable to me that someone wouldn't
So you believe the French secret service to be omnipotent.
What? Where did I say omnipotent? Governments put agents in places; this is a well known fact of life. DNS logs are a fantastic source of nefarious information-gathering.
You said "unthinkable" which implies omnipotence.
I said "it seems unthinkable to me". This means that I find it so unlikely that no reasonable person could ever think it to be the case.

"I find it so unlikely that governments don't have agents in the public DNS service that I can't believe anyone would ever believe it to be the case that they don't"

are you French? just interesting.
No I'm American, which is why I can't comprehend anyone trusting a government or a public service
