[Informatics] Data security - HTTPS now becoming compulsory

[Mark]

When I started on the internet there was no encryption.
Then big businesses and banks invested in HTTPS.

But now Google is moving toward making HTTP sites seem evil and dangerous,
and urge everyone to consider HTTPS the new norm.

The intertubes is no longer a friendly town where you can sleep soundly
with your doors left open so the cat can come in.

It's a little story with big implications.
