@oakinger It just feels wrong to me to encrypt information that’s supposed to be as widely available as possible. Think of e.g. Wikipedia.

@stilkov @oakinger ssl also adds some kind of signature to the content. That might be a valid reason for also use it with Wikipedia.

@stilkov @oakinger although even publicly available information should be accessible in anonymous and untraceable way.

@stilkov ssl doesn't secure the content, it secures the transport - which includes your personal information like cookies, source ip etc

@stilkov @oakinger it feels more right to me when I remember that not the information but only the default transport is encrypted.
