its the 21st century:
f you dont use end2end crypto, then you gotta expect people to optimize
their resources to give you the best service money can buy for the least
they have to spend.
...
That's an interesting idea. People might eventually finally start
using end2end crpyto not for privacy or authnetication where they
really care about either, but for performance and correctness, to
defend against the ISP's who find it cheaper to give you the front
page of last week's newspaper instead of today's.
Maybe this is a reason for these ISPs to filter such traffic out...
