Comment on UK's new Snoopers Charter just passed an encryption backdoor law by the backdoorparent

Comments

Given the breadth and intent of these laws, I'd expect a different response - requiring ISPs to block VPN traffic that isn't hitting a whitelisted (i.e. corporate) endpoint.

VPN traffic has a distinctive signature, and ISPs are already using deep packet inspection hardware already, so blocking VPN traffic seems like a natural evolution in this particular arms race.
