>"SSL added and removed here :^)" was over a decade ago now? Yes, and surveillance has become even more entrenched since then. >HTTPS and encryption since became commonplace. HTTPS only protects the information in transit. It can't protect you from a backdoored load balancer or other endpoint, which is what that infamous slide was about. The NSA wasn't breaking encryption, but rather compromising the devices that were communicating via HTTPS with you. The little padlock icon in your browser says nothing about the trustworthiness of the server on the other end. It's like talking on a secure line with someone who is actually a spy.
