We all know that we shouldn't login to things over http:// and we've all been trained to use https:// every time. Because random employees of the ISP and other networks could use wireshark, we know we have no reasonable expectation of privacy over http://

The world needs to know, the same problem is still true over https, but instead of thousands of employees operating the routers of the internet, it's thousands of employees operating the load balancers and web servers at google, twitter, facebook, akamai, etc.
