I am all for defining proper use cases (or more accurately, defining use cases where the use of DPI is unacceptable - such as for advertising, or for government imposed censorship of free speech - with an exception where government CERTs routinely share data about malware command and control sites, sites that host child abuse images etc, things that don't quite come under any category of free speech and are actually harmful).

See - gray areas even in the simplest set of use cases.

One of the topics I think we need to explore is the balance between the creation of tools that seem necessary for technical purposes and the potential harm these tools cause  when misused
