I don't think he ever said HTTPS. By "unsigned content" he meant that video files for example can't be played unless a Hollywood rightowner has granted playback

However in the future this DRM will be an freedom-of-speech issue. The goverment could use it as means to silence people. North-Korea is currently ahead of us. Any videos you take could be automatically signed and later on pulled by the gov. by revoking the signature. Now extending this to basic text, images, VR?, and whatever new mediaformats there will be in the future.
I highly recommend watching video where a tablet from North-Korea gets inspected. It explains how NK keeps control of its citizens.

- ascagnel_ 9y agoI only mentioned HTTPS in the sense that browsers now actively push users away from unsecured transport connections. And please provide some example of any browser vendor making moves to block/delist unsigned videos/photos for _any_ reason.
