> Do you recall the days when it was common practice for ISPs to MITM all traffic?

This never existed in France. That would have been completely illegal.




There was a time when this existed in France and was not illegal. I believe that's why the OP was saying "Do you recall the days when..."


When was it, and with which ISP?


Not op, but see this

France isn’t listed, but Germany, Netherlands, United States (obviously) are. This was a thing that used to commonly happen before TLS became standard.


Bold of you to assume lawmakers would be ahead of hackers on the technology front.
