Most people don't care about security in most circumstances, especially if they're just browsing the public internet or checking the weather. What exactly do you gain by preventing access through forced encryption? Why should I be denied access to public information? (Heck, why is it even legal for US government to require mandatory encryption on all parts of federal websites like ftc.gov and fcc.gov?) How is the mandatory TLS movement any different than the "dictatorship" regimes you claim to be fighting against? Are people who are unable to access resources merely collateral damage? C.
