Hey

That the point about serving public data encrypted while every body can request it?

Example:

- public domain book

- weather (curl wttr.in/paris)

- public news

- governmental information

- cute kitten videos

- etc.Yes, as you can trust that you actually receive the data the serverwants you to see. If a MITM attack happens, they can serve you the wrongnews for example, wrong governmental information (deluding you to doillegal acts)

Optional PGP signature is enough to provide integrity.It depends strongly on how you verify that PGP signature (same rulesapply to TLS though)
