Why would you allow your clients to transmit potentially sensitive data to you as clear text over the internet?

As far as I can tell they use Route 53 to identify targets.

The transmission type is still up to the client/receiver.

I'm sure it's because rsyslog supports it (many mentions in the article to staying compliant with rsyslog).

Thats what I don't get, how is it responsible to stay compliant when that means insecure?
