It's messy.
At this very moment, it would be very hard to enforce.
In the spirit of what they're trying to do, I worry they'll modify the law "ISPs are required to do state-full inspection of all traffic and block anything questionable."
You might say, that's not doable, what about SSL? ISP's enforce a MITM cert. Bluecoat has devices that have done this for years. Essentially dismantle internet security altogether. HSTS? Not if the feds so no. If they're mandated by law the ISPs would comply and we'd not be left with any other opportunity.
But what if it's encrypted below that level? Easy, Block. If your business needs VPN, they register their endpoint and provide backdoor keys/logs.
We're not there. Not by a long shot, but we're heading that way and they're pumping the gas as hard as they can.
None of this privacy we're enjoying is durable. Pushes in the US, UK, AUS and other places are trying to dismantle it.
If we don't put up a fight, we'd better start working a fuck of a lot harder on radio meshes.
