Not quite, as ad networks are free to support TLS. Embedders simply
link to ads using either the http or the https scheme (without
breaking anythings as user agents support both already). The problem
seems to be lack of pressure, as ad networks compete primarily on
price and amount of distraction. Users won't notice if they're
downloading both their content and ads over plain HTTP over TCP.
