You keep sidestepping the benefits. You want website.com you get website.com. It's impossible to know the infrastructure of that website and simply isn't something HTTPS will fix. That's more of a social/legal problem of how companies can handle user data.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoThe benefits are pretty small compared to the cost of requiring HTTPS everywhere, which is allowing silicon valley to bully the entire internet into jumping through its hoops to get traffic. The websites that aren't willing or able to do so are, in my experience, some of the more precious ones we have on the Internet. The websites that aren't trying to monetize their visitors are the ones that get Thanos:ed out of apparent existence. What gets lost isn't the spam or the malicious websites, they of course adapt. What gets lost is the unique views, the personal websites, like from some 80 year old who has meticulously published a catalogue of his astrolabe collection online over the last 30 years.
