Mixed content weakens HTTPS fix11 (#622)

Mixed content weakens HTTPS
Requesting subresources using the insecure HTTP protocol weakens the security of the entire page, as these requests are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, where an attacker eavesdrops on a network connection and views or modifies the communication between two parties. Using these resources, an attacker can often take complete control over the page, not just the compromised resource.

Although many browsers report mixed content warnings to the user, by the time this happens, it is too late: the insecure requests have already been performed and the security of the page is compromised. This scenario is, unfortunately, quite common on the web, which is why browsers can't just block all mixed requests without restricting the functionality of many sites.

“Professor Huemer studies a subject few will touch nowadays: ethics. He's known for starting from premises everyone can agree on and be arriving at profound conclusions – simply by following a logical train of thought,” Vine said. “If LBRY succeeds, the executive team will face decisions that will affect multitudes of people. I'm glad to have someone on board who can serve as an independent voice if we lose sight of our mission, or start rationalizing short-sighted decisions. Many people will question what use a company has for an Ethical Advisor; the better questions is why every company doesn't have one.” “Professor Huemer studies a subject few will touch nowadays: ethics.
