[Answered] PET? Not the bottle i guess.
Privacy Enhancing Technologies. A blanket term for anything protecting your identity (Onion, VPN, etc.) I feel like the people asking for this either have a very limited technical understanding of it or completely different motives. You can't ban encryption. What they could do is ban VPN services from officially operating or certain protocols but that would mostly hit your regular user.
So pet-enabled routers = routers with built in vpn support?
PET technologies = Privacy Enhancing Technologies technologies
Privacy Enhancing Technologies. Some obvious things giving anonymity and plausible deniability but also zero-knowledge proofs and such.
