No it isn't. Blocking encrypted calls for millions of user _disables_ safety for exactly those millions.

Do you possibly just have no idea that deep packet inspection has many legitimate uses, and is critical to security in many networks? Or are you simply ignoring that fact for the sake of your argument?

I am not ignoring the legitimate use cases - and I never said that there weren't any. I simply pointed out that if you work in DPI/filter/blocking and your company sells to those regimes, that you support the oppression of the affected users.

I can help with some real world examples. One is Blue Coat.

Interesting, can you expand on what the legitimate uses for DPI are? I'm not super familiar with their use in network security.
