If Comcast is doing something wrong, why does everyone else need to do something about it? If Comcast stops routing packets on port 433, should everyone else stop using it as well?
- Gigachad 4y agoISPs are evil and untrusted. That’s just a fact. The solution is to not allow them to see or modify anything.
- stiray 4y agoOther IT corporations are also evil and untrusted. But no one cares if they can look into all your mails and documents (Microsoft, Google), track you all over the web, see where you are going, which flight you are taking,... The important is that ISPs are evil and untrusted. facepalm
- Gigachad 4y agoISPs are the most blatantly scummy of the lot. They log everything, usually by government requirements, sell it to anyone, give it to the government without a warrant, inject adverts and js in to unprotected requests, and all kinds of malicious things. They are easily eliminated from the picture. One less party with access to your data the better. There is really _no_ good argument for not having HTTPS on any site unless its some very rare case like an intranet site.

I don't think I go a single day without reading posts complaining about exactly that, so obviously people do care.
- msh 4y agoSome places the ISP's are monopolies, or duopolies. Even with current tech giants you have many options.
- cortesoft 4y agoThis is like saying we shouldn't use encryption just because there are bad guys stealing our data... just because hackers do something wrong, why does everyone else need to do something about it? We have to do a lot of things because bad guys do bad things. What is the alternative? Pretend they don't exist?
