/me pass on the debate of what is acceptable as content inspect to protect the innocent.
It is indeed a huge discussion, but the main point is that not providing transparency that it is happening, not notifying users of such a change and not providing an easy documented way to get it turned off is a really bad thing.
And as obviously people who enforce the law require a judge to sign off on doing a tap, which this is also in a way just not a full one, one has to question if this ISP is thus standing above the law.... next to of course wondering what else they are doing with your traffic & data.
- That the ISP is not doing content modification (eg there are ISPs who attempted to change Google Ads with their own! Although I have not heard about this yet for Switzerland)
