Why SSL/TLS is important
SSL/TLS encrypts all data sent over the Internet (or any other network). Without SSL/TLS, data travels in cleartext and can be intercepted by 3rd parties. Everyone should use SSL/TLS and this is especially true for server connections. A single server connection may carry "interesting data" about hundreds of users, including but not limited to: names, e-mail addresses, passwords, IP addresses and even complete conversations.
