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.

Optional PGP signature is enough to provide integrity.

Are you sure that TLS is safe?
States are allowing communication they can't decipher?
