Don't think it will help since the agencies can force telcos to mitm the store fronts.

Even this draconian bill I don't think has the power to make telcos mitm sites hosted overseas, does it?

But who knows, this bill seems to be the Christmas gift that keeps on giving! Merry Totalitarian Christmas, everyone!!

Setting up a MITM would just be a small request from a low level technical employee. Just make packets from this IP go to this other IP for this one account.

But if that foreign site is using https then the telco couldn't know which account is logging in.

How do the App Store and play store react to bad HTTPS? Do they allow the user to trust?
