HTTPS was standardized in 2000 or so, so 2015 is quite a stretch for a site to not use it because the site was last updated before HTTPS was widely available. With pretty much any browser now, a red line through HTTPS means that the site _is using HTTPS_, but it is _not trusted by the browser_ (due to e.g. the certificate being self-signed or expired).

I think the intended joke is that the site's certificate expired in 2015, instead of the site is not using HTTPS. 108.162.221.101 06:29, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
