- Santosh83 9y agoI'm saying that instead of doing away with plain-text protocols, maybe national govts can each regulate their ISPs to stop injecting content into the bits they transmit? That would go a long way towards increase of privacy. As for bad state (sponsored) actors, I doubt https can really stop them doing what they want, especially not the big ones.

Next you'll be telling me that those very same companies don't spend billions on getting the laws written the way they want. Sure you could try the top down approach where everyone has the best intentions but that's not going to happen, in the meantime I'm installing bulletproof windows in my car.
