That claim makes no sense in today's world. For over a decade, the likes of Youtube, Netflix and short form video make the majority of throughput. Why in the world would anyone want to monitor known catalogs of content? Most of which are delivered by POPs in data centers distributed all over the world.

As for traffic, I can’t cite numbers, you’ll just have to trust me when I say it. I can’t give you packet breakdown or IP4 vs IP6. To have that discussion requires a secret clearance at least.

Let’s be serious for a minute here. If you’re claiming to have secret clearance on an Internet forum, you don’t.

You may be surprised how cavalier some people are about their clearance.

Secret is also like... really common to have. 5 million people or whatever.

You have clearance enough to imply that these things are going on but not enough to actually prove anything? Surely the requirements of your clearance would come with some basic terms like "don't use winks and nudges to implicate us in vast conspiracies on public forums," or the far more simple "don't mention this to anyone."

Have you seen the kinds of people that the US government has employed recently?
I suspect many in DOGE were given high levels of security clearance based on their ability to create dank memes on x
I’m well aware of the historical surveillance programs. I’m asking for a source for all of your claims about what’s happening today regarding 80% of internet traffic.
