I think its going to be a hard sell for Google, https increases site costs a lot for personal web.

Nah. You can get free SSL certs today: https://letsencrypt.org/

But I guess nothing is "free" wouldn't be surprised if letsencrypt has deals with three letter acronym agencies in the US.

Certs may be free but you also need a static IP hosting plan and that is usually a higher cost.

As long as they are an American 501(c) they are obligated to follow whatever directives given by the NSA. Any public disclosure of this will be handled in secret courts and they will probably be found guilty of working against the national security.
