This doesn't feel right to me. No one can touch this man's credentials, but lets suspend the argument of authority for a second and look at what he is saying critically: Is TLS more private overall than plantext http?
If you want to remain private, how could TLS prevent this that plaintext would not? HTTP is not tor.
- JulianMorrison 11y agoI think the argument is "HTTP is edge cached (by your ISP, etc) and so a request need not imply a connection received at the remote end. HTTPS is not subject to caching or other benign man-in-the-middle operations so knowledge of who clicked what is centrally available." This feels like a weak objection to me, since the government will just snoop at the ISP level.
