Man getting paid to spy on people complains about not being able to spy on people and uses the tried and tested "think of the children!" angle. Classic.
Good

This is a lie because the vast majority of internet traffic is already encrypted and hence un-cachable. Even if it is true, I don't care, we can trade caching for privacy, we did it with HTTP and the sky didn't fall.
> It also makes it impossible for those networks not to charge for certain data traffic because they can’t see which sites a phone is trying to visit.
Again, good.
Seriously. Fuck this guy and everything he stands for.

ISPs will do the most boneheaded things to your traffic if it is not encrypted. There was a time when Comcast liked injecting random HTML into pages. I'm sure this guy has never had to "diagnose problems" resulting from an ISP rewriting HTML on the fly. Nowadays with TLS, ISPs are mostly out of the picture and the surface area for problems is dramatically smaller.
Just more of the same tired refrain from people using motivated reasoning who don't have any care for user privacy or the rights of individuals online.
