But we don't know that, do we? There might be a government-pushed category of websites that they monitor and report upstream for legal purposes [1]. You don't need 30 categories to know if I'm on a video-playing site or not. And you can monitor performance without knowing that I was on a website or not. They write the video decoding engine, it can tell them if it's not performing as expected, no matter if I was on "Social media site" or "Porn streaming site".
It is all bollocks. A smoke screen. A slippery slope. It starts with performance metrics and ends with selling user data for profit.
