  SSL (or TLS nowadays) not only protects against surveillance but also guarantees the integrity of the data you send and receive. Without it, someone could spoof the response you receive. In practice this means injecting ads or malware or even worse: fake shakespeare!

    According to some, all Shakespeare is fake Shakespeare.

    It is brutal how few people know how to implement it and how apps all seem to have their own ways of doing it. I have to keep notes for the quirks of every damn app/OS I work with that uses SSL/TLS.

  At least because search engines rank TLS enabled sites higher these days. And also, wrapping everything in TLS creates more noise against surveillance and makes surveillance more expensive.

    So if this site has both HTTPS and HTTP versions, and it’s just Shakespeare, does it matter that much? I figure not which is why it’s not auto redirecting
