Reddit begin to encrypt all your traffic this month

Do you think all websites should use SSL certificates, so you can make the Internet a much safer place for all users? The idea undoubtedly is great, in fact it is one of the main objectives of Google, but obviously this is an issue that escapes from the hands of the company. For those who do not know them, the SSL certificates are used to encrypt data transmitted between the server and the user's browser, so they are widely used in sales and sites where sensitive data is handled.

 Begin to see more web sites that use HTTPS undoubtedly be great, and Reddit users probably be pleased to know that starting this month the site will encrypt all traffic to handle. Site representatives have announced they plan to start this July with 100% encrypted traffic. According to the comments of Ricky Ramirez, one of the administrators of Reddit, and have everything almost ready to make all site visitors, including registered users are forced to use the secure connection.
Thus Reddit will be joining other major websites that use security certificates and a long, including for example Facebook, Wikipedia, Google, among others. This undoubtedly is very good news for those who visit frequently Reddit, and that given the nature of some sections of the site there are those who may feel a little "exposed", and even more if you consider all the news about hackers and theft information that you see almost daily on the Internet.
Ironically, the US government, which became the straw that broke the camel as far as Internet security and privacy concerns, has indicated that all sites implement security certificates in 2016.
