Comment on How feasible would it be for authoritarian regimes to add censorship directly into the hardware of modern consumer electronics? (Therefore making the use of VPNs to bypass censorship useless.)

If your browser and device has a state sponsored CA certificate it’s not trivial to bypass. Transparently all certificate traffic could be intercepted by an ISP. Look at Europe already trying. Once someone malicious (to you) is a trusted certificate issuer you no longer can verify either the destination nor the privacy of the content.

Ssl based vpns are also decrypted. And vpns which use public key for identification would no longer be trusted.
