"protect customers from fraudulent websites"

and this is only a harmless starter.
There are a lot more benefits in this technique, really.

Na*i governments may use it to
"protect citizens from un-censored information",
other large entities may use it to
"protect customers from other stuff whatever".

Reminds me of a very old science fiction plot, where all phone conversation was captured by a central computer in realtime and any critical comment being cut out and replaced by some big-brother like newspeak. The way they overcame this was using handwriting on paper.

While we just see a beta test of phase one of this online-censoring project, wait for the full implementation of phase two.

Yes, it would be definitely time to move to https, but I fear longstanding old web sites will loose ranking in transistion, and we can't do that without google changing their adsense technique.

Are we having fun yet?

Kind regards,
R.
