New initiative, “Reset the Net”, being launched.
Its aim is to get more websites to use HTTPS, and to encourage more end users to learn and use surveillance-resistant tools.
Central to the campaign is to declare June 5, the one year anniversary of the first Snowden-derived news leak, as “reset the net day”. On that day, participating sites would sport an appropriate banner. The site is also collecting signatures for a “pledge” to implement resistant tools.
Current supporters include Greenpeace, the Free Software Foundation, Reddit, and about a dozen smaller orgs”.
