I may have my Facebook profile all filled out and public, list all my personal interests and read the corresponding news sites every day in public. I'm not sure how non-encrypted news page could hurt me in this case. | |
| Mar 24, 2014 at 15:02 | comment | added | mikebabcock | Just reading a news site? What if your employer looks up whether you prefer left or right leaning media outlets. What about the specific news articles that strike your interest being used against you as a statistic? Very little you do online fails to reveal something about you without your consent. | |

| Mar 24, 2014 at 13:56 | comment | added | Xander | I don't think this is a dupe because it's not about the privacy and anonymity generally, but specifically about whether encryption is necessary when no sensitive data is exchanged. | |
