The HTTPS movement is about ensuring that only Google gets your data. It's not about privacy.

I don't quite follow. Please explain why Google gets the data.

Presumably Google Analytics which can embed on HTTPS pages.

Which is already blocked by 40% of the users via ad-blockers.

Edit: some report even over 70% that block GA.

Using an adblocker is not part of HTTPS.
