Maybe I'm just old-school, but I expect when I visit a site I'm leaking some PII (my IP address) to every router between my client and latimes.com to do with as they will.
I wouldn't necessarily expect the CCP to be involved unless Internet routing is having a very bad day, but I'd expect the American government to be involved when hitting an American server.

Presumably you don't expect the american government to get involved after your request has reached latimes.com though?
Technically, the only thing stopping them is SSH, and that can be handled (as Snowden publicized) by tapping latimes.com's systems on the other side of decryption.
Old-school me would not have expected that to happen. Post-Snowden? It's a definite possibility.
