What's the point of encrypting the traffic in transit if you just PRISM (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_%28surveillance_program%29" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_%28surveillance_program%...</a>) logs of it on the back end straight to the NSA? I guess this at least keeps random MITM attacks at bay?
Amazing that so much attention is given to the NSA here... To me a more interesting question is how will this impact keyword data that's pasted through the referring URL? Will we be losing bing.com as a referrer on iOS similar to google.com?
Does this simply mean you now do <a href="https://bing.com" rel="nofollow">https://bing.com</a> for searching? which google has been doing for a while?
And yet on their blogpost announcing it, they use insecure resources and blogs.bing.com is only https if you manually specify the https, so it's basicaly not SSL'd.
