in a secured way (e.g. GPG signed) and
your users are cautious. You might choose to use SSL if you want to
prove identity to users easily with an EV cert, or if, like Facebook
apparently, it just makes the engineering easier on your end (at cost of
some performance hit). And apparently C
that do not
intend to remain anonymous operate hidden services. Clearly there are
use cases where anonymity is not a requirement and is even undesirable.
These are probably a minority I agree, making this a small issue in the
grand scheme of things. Just one I thought worth explaining since SSL

this solution requires service operator and user participation, making
it far less than ideal.
