We need a facility by which a link operator is able to put a tag on the link that basically says what is legal on a particular link because what is legal in a particular country best can be decided in that country. In the end the link operator is responsible that only legal content is on his link, be it radio or not.
The operator can mostly do that using firewall rules. When an operator believes that https is illegal under their local rules, they can just block port 443 in their access point. Of course it will be difficult to cover everything that way, but it will be impossible to have full control.
Also, in almost all of those rulings there is a certain room for interpretation, and not every operator interprets them in the same way. So we will never be able to design a system of tags that covers everything and that is good enough for everyone.
Furthermode, often it is best to simply not try to engage in such kind of restricting. When you have nothing, you can claim it is every amateur's own responsibility to operate within their license limitations. When you have a system, you suddenly become responsible for the system not working perfectly.
