I read his wiki. Didn’t see anything of the hates three letter agencies or the American government variety. I did see this:
> In 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contacted Unspam Technologies, asking, "Do you have any idea how valuable the data you have is?" The DHS' email served as the impetus for Cloudflare, a technology company Prince co-founded with Holloway and fellow Harvard Business School graduate Michelle Zatlyn the following year.
Which sounds like the opposite of what we would want. Cloudflare being started because a three letter agency told him that harvesting internet data is valuable. Unless his take away was “they do that too? Better try to stop it!”

Is there something else you’re referring to?
