But, and this again is opinion, you can't legally intercept one and avoid the other, so the net effect is the same - all interception is outlawed, all just from the argument that email and private messages should not be touched.
That is because it is (i) a technical challenge bordering on impossible to distinguish protected HTTP content from open (published) HTTP content and (ii) if it was possible, without using opt-in (whitelists) then it would involve looking at the stream, i.e. intercepting content, in order to classify content as content that must not be intercepted - catch 22.
I'm not actually saying one should be allowed without the other. I'm saying that, in carefully picking the battles fought we can get a clear message to MPs and the like.
