"Google's IP Protection means ISPs will no longer have visibility of data via an IP address whist leaving Google with the ability to monitor and process data at all times"

Wait, I must twist this in a way people will care

"This will make the provision of child protection services more difficult for ISPs."

Initially, IP Protection will be opt-in, but Google intends to make it the default setting for the Chrome browser.

Although I'm not a huge fan of compulsory VPN for everyone. A future where only a small amount of people have direct connections from their homes sounds bleak.
