The isp shouldn't have any knowledge of, or care for the traffic being transmitted over their lines. Surveillance is an evil on its own.
In the case of Tor, it means the ISP actually cannot know what the traffic is, without nation state resources, so any preemptive exclusion of Tor traffic is a prejudicial judgement by the isp, or them being upset about not being able to spy on the customer.

- robbedpeter 5y agoIf the isp doesn't snoop traffic or keep records, they're not liable. They can keep a generic reply with a fill in the blanks response signed off by their lawyer.
