Case Proposal: All Traffic is unencrypted (no https)

I propose the following data to be a new case:

Fields Data
Name All Traffic is unencrypted (no https)
Description The service doesn’t employ TLS/SSL encryption to secure the traffic between your browser and the website you’re visiting. As a result the data transmitted may be monitored by unauthorized third parties.
Classification blocker
Topic Topic Security (ToS;DR Phoenix)
Weight 100

Examples:
Not needed

A blocker because https is standard these days and free to use everywhere

I agree with the proposal, although the weight may be too high in my opinion.
For the description, I think it should be longer to explain what https exactly means:

The service doesn't employ TLS/SSL encryption to secure the traffic between your browser and the website you're visiting. As a result the data transmitted may be monitored by unauthorized third parties.

Good call, fixed the description.

Though I think the weight is justified since SSL encryption is a standard these days and there is no excuse to not support it.

The only time I am aware of missing SSL encryption is some government sites as they deem the cost-usage factor too high, which justifies the weight too.

Thank you for good call :slightly_smiling_face:

No adverse opinions have been expressed, so the case has been added to Phoenix: Case 491: All Traffic is unencrypted (no https)

I’ll close the topic in a few days!
