An IP address is no longer associated with just one website/domain name. There could be thousands of websites running on a single IP address.
As is, anyone can currently look at your encrypted traffic and see in plain text which site you’re surfing to. So this proposal is long overdue.
A government will still subpoena the destination IP for the information if they want it.
ECH protects against warrantless monitoring and other non-government bad actors and I’m happy to see it implemented. If there hasn’t been a strong enough privacy argument to use Firefox for someone to date, this is a big one.
Sure, but they probably won’t do that every day, so for the general public this is an improvement.
And also they cant get the info if the logs are deleted
They can’t get info that has been deleted yes, but I think it might be possible to coerce the company into starting to collect logs, legally or not.
