Now lets consider what is happening on Google right now: bit.ly/1ss9QqZ

Google will be promoting SSL sites above those without, effectively doing the exact same thing we’re upset about the lack of net neutrality.

Businesses and individuals who both know about and can afford to have SSL in place will be ranked above those who don’t/can’t.

@ashedryden @assaf Individuals who know how to build a website are better off then those who don’t (and can’t afford to hire someone). So?

@stilkov @ashedryden if you like the tech divide, of course everything that keeps it going is win-win

@assaf @ashedryden I find the cost of having to care about Google in the first place much worse than the SSL aspect.

@assaf @ashedryden The point is I don’t find it comparable to the net neutrality discussion. Completely different dimensions.
1
@stilkov @ashedryden same principle: here are two tiers and you can pay to move from one to the other
2
@assaf @ashedryden Might be comparable if the cost were out of proportion. It’s not, given you only care if you run your own site, anyway.
