  Just make it illegal (I think it already is on most of the world), problem solved.

    you're right. making an activity illegal always stops it.

      I don't remember saying that, or anything close to it? If the law forbids ISPs to show ads or modify the content in any way, then they won't do it.

        No what you stated was "take money out of politics" which is going to be far more difficult then the technical issues we're presented with. Why that statement, because any law to ban ISPs from doing this will be met with millions in political investment by said ISPs to prevent it. Since the average person doesn't care about this issue it's a losing proposition.

    Could you elaborate? I thought upgrading to HTTPS wouldn't involve redoing any sites, no changes to the HTML/CSS/JS/server side code, except for the TLS configuration and maybe replacing links from "http:" to "https:" but that's optional. I'd like to hear how it requires redoing a website?
