Hi Eric,

Stop trolling.  If you want to argue, address every point, and leave the thread 
in place.

Sorry. It is true.

I'll bet you 1BTC that I can use whatever browser you want to get whatever 
content you like from any expired-cert site you nominate.  Even if the browser 
tried hard to stop me, I can always still proxy it too, like 
https://hide.me/en/proxy 

Kind Regards,

This is not true. Most browsers will flag a full-screen certificate warning and 
not allow the user to proceed without clicking through scary text.

Additionally, browsers that support HSTS will not allow users to click through 
these warnings at all, for origins which have a statically or dynamically set 
HSTS policy.

In both cases, certificate expiration can deter user interaction with an 
origin. In the latter case, the barrier to user interaction with the website 
behind the expired certificate is very high.
