- oolongCat 10y agoI am sorry, but I fail to see how offering https support as a premium feature could be considered "shady".
- chill1 10y agoAll web traffic should be encrypted, regardless of purpose. This increases the work that nation-state level adversaries must do to effectively spy on the population. And it's cheap and easy to do these days.
- oolongCat 10y agoIt's not a question if its easy to do or not. Yes I prefer an encrypted connection over one that is not. BUT! the point here is the op claims this is a shady practice to provide https to their paying customers. A shady practice is if they take your personal information and sell it to another without telling you. Shady is when companies lie to their customers. And this situation is not.
- chill1 10y agoFair enough. I don't think this is a "shady" practice either. But I think it's an old, out-dated practice to charge extra money for a feature that should be on by default.
