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.
That will be easy for me. I'm not interested in supporting Internet access (beyond what systems like Winlink offer), so anything outside 44:0.0.0/9 and 44.128.0.0/10 would be blocked at my gateway. ip route and iptables will do the trick. :)
Beyond that, yes, it's up to individual amateurs to play by the rules (i.e. regulations). :)
