"idiots don't understand..."

But if they are in a position of power (as the CSPs are w.r.t data over their own infrastructure), what they don't understand, they can block, using the precautionary principal.

And even if the data is fetched via a GET, it can still be DPI'd, and again, precautionary principal applies if they don't understand it.

The only thing you can do is have some infrastructure that is not run by a CSP (I've never heard Communication Service Provider used as a term before, but whatever...) that runs over a UK border to a friendly neighbor, like a satellite link, direct wire, microwave link, or even a focused WiFi antenna.

But that could be made illegal as well.
