Even funnier, if one SIGINT team built a centralized "encryption everywhere" effort (before sites get encryption elsewhere), but that asset had to be need-to-know secret, so another SIGINT team of the same org, not knowing the org already owned "encryption everywhere", responded to the challenge by building a "DoS defense" service that bypasses the encryption, and started DoS driving every site of interest to that service.

(Seriously: I strongly suspect that Let's Encrypt's ISRG are the good guys. But a security mindset should make you question everything, and recognize when you're taking something on faith, or taking a risk, so that it's a conscious decision, and you can re-evaluate it when priorities change.)

Sounds like Cloudflare honestly. There are many issues with CA trust in the modern Internet. The most paranoid among us would do well to remove every trusted CA key from their OS and build a minimal set from scratch, I suppose. Browsers simply make it too easy to overlook CA-related issues, especially if you think a CA is compromised or malicious.
