That sounds like the kind of argument that used to be made against building a browser to web standards. It used to be the case that the Mozilla browser and early Firefox would break on many sites; not now. If everyone starts encrypting and proxying, sites will have to accommodate to the new situation or die.

If they spy on me, I will no longer use the Internet. I'll just go away and read a book. I don't want my children to inhabit a digitally draconian future where they are observed like lab rats for measuring the performance of marketing campaigns. Indeed, how will we ever be able to trust what we read online if we know that the data can be manipulated by the ISP.
