So you're basically saying that if I'm using Starbucks' WiFi it's surely their prerogative to read my emails or whatnot ("inspect" my traffic)
- shaftway 9y agoYes, it is. This is why https is a thing.
- brianwawok 9y agoLikely they block dns too. 99% of the world uses the default dns for a connection.
- AndrewKemendo 9y agoReading email content is a different problem altogether technically and legally - so it's not a valid comparison. That's not what inspect means [1] packet attributes, ports for POST/GET, headers and routing are typically the data inspected. If Starbucks wanted to block or log how many people are hitting a GMail IP, however then yes that is their prerogative. That said if you're doing email over bare HTTP then you're broadcasting that data publicly over RF anyway.

- mtarnovan 9y ago"Well, of course we're not reading your emails. We're just inspecting the headers and blocking all emails from `@competitor.com`"
