Don't be naive and think they can't block this stuff because of encryption. They just go after the business entities. Eventually you'll only be left with super sketchy options that they'll try to block by IP.

They probably won't totally succeed, but they can make things far shitter than they are.

They can just make it a legal requirement to allow MITM, like Kazakhstan tried doing back in 2015. If every ISP requires you to have this cert installed before you can go online, you don't have many options.

The last thing the rich want is to slow their internet access down to Kazakhstan levels at their businesses
