> I don't know how this is legal even.

Legality is secondary when you are punching up in a 3rd world country. (I am from India)

I'm in the US and I've caught my ISP doing MITM exploits over http (not https... so far). It's global and regular folks have absolutely no chance of knowing what is going on. Needs to be criminalized for any hope of resolution.

Comcast has even published an informational RFC describing how to inject crap into HTTP requests:

1. Please stop self-generalizing. This only leads to hopelessness, which is unwarrented since there's a huge amount of Internet-related activism in India, even more than the Western countries.

2. Plese stop using the label "Third-world". You are your own "first-world". There's better labels to describe yourself, namely "developing".

Well third world just means the country did not align with the US or USSR during the cold war. Though the concept has kinda changed meaning lately.
