Oh I call those people „TLS antivaxxers”.
Conveniently Tom didn’t mention anything about Edward Snowden and what he published. That was basically start of TLS everywhere.
Then he didn’t mention ISP idiots that were actually injecting ads to cute websites like Tom’s. I hope Tom likes when his website is used by ISP to make money on ads he doesn’t have any control over.
Then he goes on to criticize certificate transparency, but it works. Companies got kicked out from trusted root program because they were doing stupid stuff like making certs they shouldn’t.
Let’s not forget glorious state of Kazakhstan where without TLS they would just listen to all traffic - well with TLS they were trying to pull MITM but were uncovered and got their stuff removed by TLS ecosystem.
If I recall, tom7 was at odds with chrome throwing up a warning at users trying to visit his website because he didn't support TLS on it. He wasn't against TLS. Calling them a TLS antivaxxer is not accurate.
