If it is served via https, it is encrypted.

Edit: sorry, forgot the /s

[codegeek]

I knew u forgot the /s. If the Governor understood https and encryption, he wouldn't be penalizing the reporter for "View Source". Clearly he got caught at being incompetent and he is doubling down on "how dare you"

[Bluecobra]

Well you see the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes!

[cat199]

nono - 'view source' is really the 'hack this website' button, it's just called 'view source' to keep the bad guys from knowing about it.

[jmull]

Not once it's loaded by the browser it's not.

[MisterBastahrd]

Oh shit, I'm reading your encrypted message right now!

[badRNG]

You should consider responsibly disclosing this vulnerability rather than posting it here.

[willcipriano]

It's ok, the disclosure is also encrypted.

[navbaker]

No it's not, you forgot to wrap it in an "<encrypted>" tag.

[lapetitejort]

Don't forget the </encrypted> tag or else the rest of the internet's traffic will be encrypted forever.

[NoGravitas]

What a nefarious ransomware attack!

[buitreVirtual]

Don't dare disclosing it in Missouri!

[iamcreasy]

I didn't get the joke. Can anybody explain it?

[jayd16]

Https traffic is indeed encrypted, but its encrypted for you the user.

Its like saying you stole documents from a sealed container when that container had your name on it, it was addressed to you, and you had the key.

if it's in plain text in the html served, it isn't

[dylan604]

But if you're an idiot to believe viewing source is hacking, then you're clearly the type that viewing the source is viewing encrypted data.

The actual quote states that the data was first "unencrypted" before viewing the source. This is in fact correct if not poorly phrased, but who'd expect proper terms used when we're talking about "these" people?

[anm89]

I get what the article says and what the county claims. That doesn't make what the parent said right.

[throwawaycuriou]

expand the lawsuit to Apple, Google, other heathen browser makers

[quantified]

Just wait. I wouldn’t be surprised.

[badRNG]

jesus christ...

[mikro2nd]

yes...?

[dylan604]
