All major browsers have now removed HTTP available as default = you need to change a setting to even be able to access a HTTP url. Anti-virus software blocks native apps that try to connect on port 80 and you cannot make them open the port even if the setting is available. I will always use HTTP/1.1 on port 80 but my customers wont be able to connect even if they try, my only option is to tell them to uninstall their anti-virus and hope that works. To force a certificate that is gate kept by root-certificates and forces you to identify yourself is the largest censorship humanity has had so far: It protects the consumer from those that don't have a root-cert., but hurts a producer that is not complying with the authority. And HTTP/2 & 3 tries to insert the cert. as a base function meaning you wont even be able to connect without it. Pseudonymity was always the most important feature of the internet. Watch them come after TCP and UDP soon: They will say that to use unencrypted protocols you need a license from your government. |

No. http://captive.apple.com seems to load just fine for me.

Because of infrastructure malware like ad injectors at ISPs, it's probably in your customers best interests to use HTTPS.
Hell, it's better to use HTTPS with a self signed cert than HTTP.

There's always the risk of a conspiracy of vendors deplatforming someone. That's true. I'd be more worried about your ISPs or electricity companies unilaterally shutting off your service.
If you see Letsencrypt going all political, like Patreon, and kicking off people with the wrong views, then yeah we have a problem.

Haha, the wind is blowing the other way, buddy.
