No, it can't. You're arguing very confidently about a proposal you haven't even read. What you've instead done is take the headlines about the proposal at face value, and then constructing an argument by reasoning about what global TLS MITM would mean for the Internet.

Actually I did, here are the relevant parts[1]:

uers should be made aware that, different than end-to-end HTTPS, the achievable security level is now also dependent on the security features/capabilities of the proxy as to what cipher suites it supports, which root CA certificates it trusts, how it checks certificate revocation status, etc. Users should also be made aware that the proxy has visibility to the actual content they exchange with Web servers, including personal and sensitive information.

Now the question is, did you???

I've seen the link[2] you posted and I didn't find ANYWHERE the part where it specifically talks about HTTP and not HTTPS. There's even the above part explaining making things even more complicated...

[2] http://hillbrad.typepad.com/blog/2014/02/trusted-proxies-and...

Since the entire point of Brad's post is the distinction between http/https as it applies to HTTP/2.0 and specifically TrustedProxy, I call "shenanigans" on the idea that you actually read either of these.

I got what you mean the second time I went through both of the texts, my bad. I thought HTTP2.0 was about always-on TLS layer, which is false so. And to be fair, reading the draft is kinda hard to understand the exact meaning, especially since they added the 6th paragraph (posted above), which in this case doesn't really make sense. If the connection is non-encrypted anyway, why ask the user a permission to tunnel the connection through TLS?

ps. I really did read them both, I just tend to be a little strong-opinionated.
