Ask HN: Is my ISP breaking the law by penetrating HTTPS?
I assume my ISP has the ability to easily detect what wikipedia page I'm looking at using resource loading patterns.
If they do that absent a warrant, are they breaking the law?
- spydum 10y agoTypically no. Most ISP's have a Term of Use which says something like: "C2 SB shall have the right, but not the obligation, to: (a) monitor traffic and content on its network, in its sole discretion, including through the use of automatic content filters (including without limitation spam, virus, and adult language sniffers and filters); and (b) monitor Customer’s bandwidth utilization and to limit excessive use of bandwidth (as determined by SB) as SB deems appropriate to efficiently manage its network.
