Thanks for the link, didn't know that existed.

Reminds me of when Google security engineers...ahem...reacted...to the Snowden leak that the NSA was spying on internally decrypted traffic. [1]

It's insane to me that the US spied on an American company's internal traffic, got busted, and the only viable response was "well, I guess we have to make HTTPS mandatory in the protocol now".

Not that it was the wrong response. Just that it wasn't even on the table to say "hey, NSA, wtf..."

Unless you see the NSA as some sort of weird, legally protected black hat blue team.
