The use of "DPI" is frequently has a buzzword-like nature, which could mean literally anything from real DPI to transparent and semi-transparent HTTP proxies and sometimes even DNS spoofing techniques.
The bad thing is that some ISPs MITM (with obviously invalid self-signed certificate, not even matching CN/DN of the domain being proxied) instead of completely dropping all tcp/443 traffic.
Not that it's bad intent to try to provide access to the non-blacklisted pages, but it's an absolutely harmful practice of teaching users to click the knobs "aw, ignore those errors, I want to read the site".
