My educational institution does this, but access to Wikimedia sites is
unaffected. If they can't set up their system to make it work, I can see
exactly where liability is in this case.

Subject: Re: [Wikitech-ambassadors] https-only is reducing accessibility
I think that it is somewhat inaccurate to say that Wikimedia is at fault here,
it seems that those schools and companies bear the responsibilities for their
actions and snooping. They are responsible for the blocking and that makes them
responsible for their solutions.

Hi ambassadors,
Recently Wikimedia sites switched to https-only for privacy reasons, and the
https certificate has been updated to prevent access altogether where a secure
connection couldn't be established.
This is a problem because some schools and companies deliberately eavesdrop
https for monitoring purposes by inserting an in-house https certificate.
Wikimedia's switch to https-only is preventing people from such networks from
even *reading* Wikipedia.
Is there a compromise that can be sought?
