Comment (by oppa):

 vRobM, I'm not sure if you're being deliberately misleading, but CF is the
 dictionary definition of a man in the middle. Even if it's not an "attack"
 it's something that people should protect themselves from, especially
 those who can't afford to risk CF subpoenaing their info to governmental
 bodies.

 And of course, it's a contractual service, but it's one most people aren't
 aware of and is violating their privacy. You say "It's a contractual
 service." almost as if that means it can't be an attack on people's
 privacy
