Encrypting the web

hi vb, fully support this proposal. i would go so far as to say enforce https for everyone. it also reminds me of this proposal that was put out by various radical tech collectives recently:

We want to stop Data Retention of the type that is being imposed on us by the E.U. Directive 2006/24/EC because it is a preemptive surveillance of communication structures:

Imagine the postal services kept a record of everyone who sent a mail to you. When. Who. How. Where. This is exactly what is happening no with your email, your phone calls and other electronic communications.

We as providers are forced to store YOUR communication metadata. This is forcing us to work as outsourced police forces. We don't want this. We will pour as much sand into this machine of suspicion as we possibly can. And we encourage everyone else to do the same! Do not support this attack on privacy!
We will continue to fight against Data Retention in any way possible and we will support each other in our different efforts to fight it.
