Because HTTPS protects only things you do on the site. ISP still knows which sites you connect to. Which YouTube video you are watching to. etc. F.E. in Russia ISP’s have to keep logs of users interactions for half of year and give it to government when they need them.
My opinion. I can’t trust any government on this planet anymore. So much fuck ups and stupid decisions. So basically every government is kinda authoritarian for me…
Yes, because they know the IPs your packets go to, but if there are multiple websites behind a single IP they won’t know which one (unless you use your ISP DNS server, which you should probably not)
Which YouTube video you are watching to. etc.
No, because the URL is contained within the HTTP packets which are encrypted with SSL (the S in HTTPS), so unless the ISP does MiM, they cannot know which URL you are visiting.
Oh, thanks for this precision, I wasn’t aware of this. And now that I think of it, it’s obvious that the first exchange with a server has to be unencrypted

Hmm… You have way better knowledge than I am. It seems so. Should think about this things some time later 😉
