--- Comment #17 from Chris Steipp <[email protected]> ---
I like to think that if we did enable it, China would mitm the connection and
either serve it plaintext inside or spoof the cert. I can't imagine they would
want to cut off their users. But I'm not sure if I'm up for playing chicken
with them at the moment.

Also, one argument I haven't seen on this bug I keep meaning to add is that
HTTPS is not just about privacy (even over HTTPS, it's pretty easy to do
traffic analysis and guess what article a user is viewing), it's also about
integrity. When a user isn't using HTTPS, anyone between the user and us can
make the site say or not say whatever they like. For that reason, I think we
owe it to our anons to try and aim for everyone using HTTPS, even if it's in a
distant future.
