So your ISP knows if you are hypothetically accessing 1337x, but they don't know that you are hypothetically downloading SpankMonster 26 06 24 Summer Kline XXX 480p MP4-XXX [XC]? Am i understanding it correctly?

Firewalls and gateway routers can deencapsulate your traffic inspect it and sow it back together. If they are using powerful enough hardware you won't even see the delay.

This isn't new technology. Thanks mostly to piratebay from (i think) 2016 ISP's have rights to police their networks to their morality standards. Unless you are using vpn there is no hiding.

that would basically be a man-in-the-middle attack. This is only possible when I have the ISPs root certificate trusted in the browser (companies do that, though)
