Recorded Future = CIA? Solely based on them taking money from IQT?

IQT funds a ton of different companies, it doesn't make them fronts for the CIA. Cloudera, FireEye and a ton of others have taken money from IQT, it doesn't make them propaganda.

Though I won't say for sure that Recorded Future is CIA propaganda, there are obvious reasons why the CIA would fund a software development or computer security company besides propaganda. For what other reason would they fund a media company?


Recorded Future isn't a media company... They are a threat intel/osint/reporting platform.

TheRecord is essentially their blog/news site, just like ThreatPost is Kasperskys blog/news site. Just like I wouldn't consider Kaspersky a media company, just like I wouldn't consider Recorded Future to be a media company.
