I agree that it's still bad practice. My main objection was to the statement "Since GitHub is for open-source projects, it also meant that any user could submit a request to modify the code and impact Trump’s website". If don

What problems does HTTPS introduce (besides a potential for a false sense of security)? "Better solutions" (excluding the anonymity aspect) such as GPG signatures still require that you trust the key fingerprint used to sign the h
