I wish Google would give schools a way to enforce safe Google translate without decrypting https (similar to how we enforce safe search & safe YouTube). Students are using translate as web proxy to surf unfiltered, so we have to block translate or decrypt traffic. Sucky options

If it's not Google Translate, it'll be something else. Not much benefit in trying to block traffic. Decrypting it can be detected and sites can warn users of it.

We can block other sites & not much is lost. Blocking Google translate is unfortunate. Why would Google who pushes https hard want schools decrypting students' traffic?

Because schools have a people problem, not a technology problem. It's about trusting students (and parents to teach them well).

They literally have no choice but to block it. An administrator's personal opinion about who is trustworthy is irrelevant here.

I have no sympathy for schools after years and years of my own personal experiences in the public school system.

The web is getting encrypted and they'll have to deal with it. Too bad.

Yes, and here is someone who is *trying* to play along with HTTPS and still have existing functionality, and yet you're shoveling your own agenda against schools. Your views here are more about schools than HTTPS.

The whole point of HTTPS is to disallow the malicious behavior schools want to impose here.

Schools want to impose? I manage our filter & don't want to decrypt https. I'm asking Google for middle ground to allow us not to do so & still follow law blocking unsafe content (like safety search tools).

I understand you're stuck with the law & are trying to do best you can, but goal from tech side should be to make that law untenable & unenforceable.
