'Social Security' is important, but they shouldn't done in the way of
invading citizen's privacy.
Well, if you are happy with your every packet being analyzed, tracked,
looked over, fine. I have nothing more to say.
ps. If they — snooped people — just want to read wikipedia contents, there
are mirrors which does not use HTTPS by default.

Understanding comes both ways. Since Snowden's
whistleblowing, the tech
community has already been denounced by a significant proportion of society
as selfish nerds who value their own privacy over (communal / national)
security and order. Our switch to https-only (as opposed to
https-recommended) is only sealing that impression.
Coincidentally with the switch to https-only, China has blocked the
Chinese Wikipedia.
We always need to balance security and accessibility. I feel that it is
unwise to remove even the option to use Wikimedia without https encryption.
With the systemic bias of Wikipedia, I feel that this switch has cost us
more in loss of breadth of readership than we gain in security.
"Not our fault" is not good enough when an encyclopedia loses a small but
significant proportion of its readership, not out of the readers' voluntary
choice.

P.S. Nemo: FYI the case in my mind is in the UK, not HK or Mainland China.

Is there a compromise that can be sought?
First comes understanding. It would be very nice to have a map of such
issues; then WMHK could mail all the schools etc. explaining them why
encryption is important and why they should not break it, for the kids'
security's sake.
Then, once we know who can't be convinced/fixed and why, it will be
easier to seek alternatives.
