weather reports, traffic news, travel updates., etc.), etc. ShintoPlasm: “why should, say, the BBC News website necessarily move to HTTPS if all it does is provide news stories with no requirement for logging in?”ġ) BBC News does provide user accounts (called iBBC) for comments, bookmarking of news topics & programmes, customizing locality preferences (eg. > Don’t think that encrypted data means encrypted communications… Maybe there are cases but in most cases it does not make sense not to use HTTPS if it’s possible. In fact there are not a lot of reasons not to use HTTPS. And if search engines see HTTPS as ranking signal then it has a lot to do with ShintoPlasm’s example. There is no doubt that SEO is an important factor for news sites.
> SEO has very little to do with it other than pressuring sites into using TLS *(SSL)*. How much you perceive a difference depends on the website but it’s not debatable that HTTP/2 is a good thing for the performance. The differences between HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 are facts. Please use Google or any other search engine if you don’t understand what integrity of ressources in this context means. Tread carefully.ĭigital Rights Management has NOTHING to do with my comment. Some resources need protection but others really don’t and violate fair use among other rights. > Translation into a more common terminology Digital Rights Managements *(DRM)*. So long as there is always choice there shouldn’t be too much of an issue… just some ignorance from both sides of the coin. I’m sure every one has read about the “Net Neutrality” being challenged as of late… if/when it goes big business will dictate what you can read and where. Let’s Encrypt is a step in the right direction however some assets still don’t need any certificates. corporate greed usually comes into play *(go figure)*. It’s very big business to sell third party verification e.g. > I run into enough certificates errors as is is now Don’t think that encrypted data means encrypted communications… DNS requests are almost always visible somewhere and encryption is usually quite weak. Not every site needs https especially when anonymous browsing goes nearly out the window with https. SEO has very little to do with it other than pressuring sites into using TLS *(SSL)*. > HTTPS is also a ranking signal for search engines and that’s very important for news websites like BBC News. > HTTPS is a requirement for HTTP/2 which is a good thing for website performance.

it’s also about integrity of ressources
