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.

> hurts a producer that is not complying with the authority.

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.

> They will say that to use unencrypted protocols you need a license from your government.

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

It loads fine because you enabled it.
Default chrome. I'm not even aware of the option you mention.
Does http://rupy.se work?
Yup. Tried on desktop and android chrome.
