Reddit To Start Fully Encrypting Traffic By Next Month

Should all websites employ HTTPS browsing which helps make surfing the web more secure, at least as far as your privacy is concerned? Well some digital rights advocates are claiming that should be the way moving forward and while there are plenty of websites out there that continue to use the HTTP standard, you will be pleased to learn that Reddit won’t.

The website that describes itself as the front page of the internet has recently announced that by the end of the month, they will stop using the HTTP standard and will switch to HTTPS, thus ensuring that all traffic to its website will be encrypted. According to Ricky Ramirez, Reddit’s systems administrator, “We’re ready to enforce that everyone use a secure connection with reddit.”
