I continue to be confused by this threat model where all government agencies you're worried about are plagued by massive levels of US-style governmental bureaucracy and can't get anything done, yet they're capable of being meaningful threats. (Also where the only entities you're worried about are government entities.)
- dane-pgp 8y agoThe entities I'm worried about have bought off-the-shelf surveillance tools which record the HTTP requests associated with each IP/MAC address. This is a minimum viable product for governments and ISPs (not to mention businesses, like hotels and coffee shops), and it is reasonable to think that such a system is deployed on orders of magnitude more networks than a system that tries to infer Debian package downloads from counting bytes of HTTPS traffic.
