I definitely agree that these types of blocking are ineffective and generally do more harm than good, but if governments are going to push for this stuff, it would be good to have a solution that doesn’t harm people’s security and privacy.
Boring enough to use #Debian, fun enough to use #Arch • #Hardware & #Software Development • #RapidPrototyping • #EmbeddedSystems — he/him
I don’t post exclusively about one topic. Expect random stuff on #coding, #retrocomputers, #DIYsolar, or things I’m passionate about like #livablecities, #a11y.
I love to chat about my own interests, but also boost/share things that are new to me that I find interesting. #art, #literature, #food, and whatever else, I’m excited to explore it all!

There are lots of ways around doing a full SSO integration, though.
In the simplest form, the ISP could simply use a captive portal of some sort directing the user to authenticate first.
While captive portals can’t serve the correct certificate most browsers these days are smart enough to detect a captive portal redirect and give the user a smoother experience.

All the examples you provided were infrastructure, not social communities, so I think it’s a poor comparison.
Instead, I’d compare AP federation to _social_ constructs. Communities, clubs, groups of friends. Even larger constructs like cities or nation states.
In _those_ examples it’s clear that limiting association is commonplace and healthy.
