I wasn't arguing for MITM, I was arguing that it's not any worse than your run of the mill MITM

MITM is generally considered to be a mode of compromise, so that's sort of like saying, well, it's not really any worse than being shot in the head. It might be true on some level, but it's hardly any consolation.

I don't think anyone is arguing this is particularly worse than any other MITM performed by ISPs against their users.
