So one way you can identify VPN traffic is to slow the vpn connection temporarily between the target and the VPN server, whilst observing the connections coming out of the VPN server, spot the slow connection coming out, you then its possible to identify where the VPN traffic is heading! Its just traffic shaping.
Think of it as just monitoring vehicle movements on a road network which cross borders, you cant see the contents of the vehicle, but you can see where they are heading back and forth multiple times, and thus work out what they are upto, even if the destination is a cloud server!
The article also shows that the network carriers, land line and mobile network carriers many of which are stock market listed dont monitor the networks to protect their users, thus do they fail in their duty of care? I think many victims of crime could have a case, it wouldnt be hard to spot whats going on for them, in much the same way the postal service can tell whats going on when people deliver drugs through the postal system, or supermarket loyalty card schemes can highlight changes in their customers which can indicate health issues. The lawyers and judges probably wouldnt be able to understand it, in much the same way people cant understand quantum physics, so is there a case to bring?
Everyone gives away metadata, if you know what to look for, the crime is the current setup of society benefits a privileged few!
