I find the arguments against encrypted-by-default HTTP2 based on regulatory issues of prisons and amateur radio rather silly. I'm an amateur radio operator myself and the idea that internet standards should be crippled to support a niche use case like packet radio offensive. People will still use packet radio, either by publishing all their session keys somewhere, or just using a translator between encrypted and non-encrypted at the gateway, before the RF connection.
As for prisons, do we really want to restrict the rights of free people to the rights of prisoners? This seems like 100% the responsibility of the prison itself, and I'm sure different prisons will adopt different policies.
- talideon 12y agoIt's especially pointless given the likes of OpenBSD's relayd exist, so prisons can already use the likes of that for snooping on TLS traffic. If everything's going through relayd, then acting as a middleman intercepting and logging the plaintext of any TLS traffic is straightforward.
