Depends on whether the US govt considers loli as child porn or not

If loli were illegal there it would probably not be because of that anyway.

Loli/shota and similar content IS legal in the US, as long as all of the depictions are imaginary; there's more than one legal precedent already.  Otherwise, Nabokov's "Lolita", itself, would be illegal ;D ...

The big deal about the recent revelations about the NSA is that they have access at the end of the connection - after your data has already been decrypted.  SSL doesn't help you here.  Then again, it's unlikely there's an NSA black box plugged into BakaBT's rack.

It depends on the ciphers you choose.  Practically, it's a non-issue; Google famously switched over to SSL by default for Gmail without deploying any additional hardware.

you still need the other 99.9% https-ed (or whatever) too.

It protects you from session hijacking on this site, which ranges from "not important at all" to "pretty damn important" depending on the person.

Implementing SSL-everywhere on a site can vary from trivial to a bit of work, depending on how things are set up.  I don't know how much work it'd be to add it to BakaBT.

I'm new around here, but privacy is no joke, every organism or activist that fights for the freedom of internet supports https, so I as the first one posting I agree with him that it should be implemented in every website, it's not that we are going to do anything wrong here, but we have the right of no one evesdropping on us.

Nowadays it's been known that NSA filters the 75% of the US traffic (but also the rest of the world) so even if you think that them knowing what series you watch it's not such a big deal, it indeed is! as they are building up a profile of your person based on what videos you see, what webpages you visit to sell it to companies or to use it against you.

So again, no joke on privacy, and if you check it every site is turning on encryption so why wouldn't you?
