Over the last few years we've seen mainstream media significantly increase their coverage of privacy and online security issues. The recent trouble between Apple and the FBI is only one of the most recent and visible examples.

The digital world holds security and privacy concerns, and website owners have it in their power to be part of the solution. With a moderate effort, they can help create a safer, more secure Internet.

Technology will always have security flaws, and there will always be people who will wish to take advantage and exploit technical weaknesses. No matter how hard we try to protect things.

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t keep striving for improved privacy and better security. If we work together, we might be able to achieve something close to perfection. Or at least we can help each other stay a few steps ahead of those who don’t respect our right to privacy.

One meaningful way to help fight for a more secure Internet is to enable SSL By Default. We strongly believe that every website should do this because there is no longer an excuse not to.
