I can see why the gov't would have something to say about DoH, but even though the article specifically asks "why do ISPs hate it?", it doesn't actually answer

I can see why the gov't would have something to say about DoH, but even though the article specifically asks "why do ISPs hate it?", it doesn't actually answer why ISPs themselves would have a hat in the ring. Surely they cannot be blamed if DoH prevents them from sniffing users' traffic?
- rocqua 7y agoMaybe they fear this will mean they need to do blocking outside the DNS level? I'd certainly be sweating as an ISP if I need to start doing SNI inspection to block certain domains. That takes some decent packet inspection infrastructure.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoISPs can make money selling behavioral data to aggregators. Domain names are more valuable for this than bare IPs.

- jen20 7y agoThis is almost certainly the reason. The first thing I do on any internet connection in the UK is change the DNS out for one that isn't broken...
