Net Neutrality: Net Neutrality Shouldn't Extend to Illegal Acts, Says FCC Comissioner
Okay, so let’s dig into this for a second… First of all, in order to prevent illegal acts, you need to snoop ALL traffic going through the network. I can see why people don’t like this. But also keep in mind that the techniques used by the telco’s to filter traffic aren’t able to snoop into encrypted streams.
So the people who are doing _really_ illegal stuff are going to get past no problem. And the rest who are either a) innocent or b) too stupid to use encryption, are the ones that get snooped.
Why don’t they just block all encrypted traffic?
