That's a very good point. The majority of people have no idea that many Governments are already monitoring and data mining everything they say or do online. Websites should already start switching to HTTPS (or SPDY) to protect their users against this stealth monitoring, of which they know nothing about.

But if they don't and if this law passes (I hope it doesn't) maybe some good will come out of it, and it will jumpstart a trend for switching to encrypted connections.
