RE: Embedding Videos in Posts

It looks like this post contains a link that does not use a secure protocol: http://test.steemfiles.com:8080.
HTTP is in use instead of HTTPS and no protocol redirection is in place.
Be careful and do not enter sensitive information in that website as your data won't be encrypted.
It's also a good habit to always hover links before clicking them in order to see the actual link in the bottom-left corner of your browser.


More info on this service here. For more information on HTTP unsafety read: https://whynohttps.com   https://web.dev/why-https-matters.

{average of post/comments with HTTP links I found per hour: 49.2}.

This auto-reply is throttled 1/20 to reduce spam but if it still bothers you reply "OFF HTTP". Or reply REVIEW for manual review and whitelisting.

In the Steemit software, private keys are not sent to the server but instead signatures are. These signatures are sent to the blockchain, which are public anyway. It wouldn't work otherwise.

Hi, my auto-reply is not aware of the content of your post. It's just warning against the use of HTTP in general.   =]
