    In fact, I can think of a few reasons the US gov shouldn’t even be trusted to fund this. Namely the CIA/NSA possibly saying “bitch we fund you, don’t report these things we exploit or no more money.” Did it happen? Don’t know. Does “US gov funded” immediately make me suspicious of it happening? Yes.

      As it should. Frankly NO Government should have sway over the CVE program, they are all shady AF and every one them would absolutely do what you are describing if they felt it was in their interest.
