IMHO, when we link from social media and press releases to our own sites (including blogs and wikis) we should always make those URLs use HTTPS?
Any objections?

(P.S. what about forcing HTTPS for all visitors to the blog?)

I agree, it's a good practice and we usually do that anyway. The only small exception I can think of is when one really, really needs one extra character to squeeze a tweet into the 140 character limit - Twitter shortens HTTPS links to 23 characters, but HTTP links to 22 characters.
Any objections?

Hmm... might be possible, with the same considerations as for WMF sites. Not on top of the todo list for the blog, though.

Another exception I was considering was retweeting something that was originally from outside the community. (or at least outside this list)
The proposal was intended mainly for messages originating in the community or coming from official accounts/sources. (including foundationwiki)
