Comment on Is HTTPS a scam?
dhork@lemmy.world 8 months agoBut would you be OK taking all the stuff you write on those websites, and scrawling it on a giant chalkboard in your town square instead? One where anyone can see (or even change) what you’ve written?

That’s never been an issue for me.
Yes, I can see how that would be a bad thing but it’s so hypothetical. Why do we even care? Do we really feel the breath of the NSA on our neck to that degree?

back in the day, i used to sit in the airport and read nearby peoples email, watch them browse sites. https and other security measures make this actually difficult now.
you should be concerned with more than just 3 letter agencies.

You can not only use that information for e.g. blackmail, but alsoto build material to manipulate you to do things without you knowing.
Information is a powerful tool.
