TLS is currently simply a matter of point and click on a graphical interface.

For hosting provider setup, to domain name registration and TSL certificate generation there are thousands of online tutorials.

You don't need to be an expert or a developer to know how to setup TLS on a Wordpress blog.



A Wordpress blog run by a third party does not constitute a secure messaging system, even if you have TLS enabled on it. And it's still a lot less easy than using WhatsApp.


Installing pidging, otr, starting a chat and confirming who you're talking too doesn't exactly require a comp sci degree.

This isn't really about stopping that though, it's about the snooping nanny state plain and simple.
