  (Hard to disprove, but it doesn't make any sense for them to run exits. But that shouldn't make you relax, since they already surveil a lot of the internet, including some of the existing exit relays, so they don't *need* to run their own. Also, the Snowden documents give us some good hints that say no. Btw, use SSL.)

Closely related, and I think more interesting is to drop the "exit" proviso:
