Privacy first, freedom a distant third or fourth. As everything becomes HTTPS only due to cargo-culting by people applying business practices outside of context the re-centralization of the web will be complete. A handful of single points of failure (the TLS cert authorities that everyone groups up in) will exist for governments/public to pressure, for accidents to happen, and for money to corrupt.
- rakhodorkovsky 6y agoCould you expand on your concerns? How should we go about addressing them?
- superkuh 6y agoIf you're the person deciding weather or not to serve HTTP+HTTPS or just HTTPS, chose to serve HTTP+HTTPS. When chosing a TLS cert authority, consider using sometime other than LetsEncrypt even though they're awesome. Everyone using them is not awesome.
