Opera Mini, Opera (Mobile) with Turbo enabled, and also some enterprise proxies that pose as the endpoint and install their own root certificate on workstations all do similar stuff.

That does not surprise me!
But still unbelievable. Especially this no-information-policy.
Similar workflow is the Nokia messaging service. Simple and easy for standard non-techy user, but "untrustworthy". I never ever used that feature, but set up my mail accounts manually/directly.
But fear is this is just the beginning.
1984 is already gone

Are you guys accusing Nokia of data mining like Google?

I'm sure this is disclosed in the documentation somewhere. Opera Mini, for example, discloses this in the 27 pages of legal "agreement" you say OK to on first run. Anytime you have bandwidth savings, good odds it comes at the price of some level of security.
One silly question: If you trust a phone manufacturer to not put back doors and spyware into their closed-source browser and/or base OS... Why would you suddenly not trust them running a web server that does compression and middle-man decryption needed to do that well?
There are far more examples of manufacturers putting in back doors and data dump capabilities into their software than spying on service streams.

2 things:
- Unlike Opera, Nokia's privacy policy or terms of service does NOT mention this
- Opera only compress http traffic and do not touch https traffic other than transmitting it from your phone to the destination but Nokia decrypt https traffic too on their servers which means any compromising of Nokia's servers is a threat for those using it...
If it was transparent, nobody would say a thing but Nokia did realize they screwed up as usual and even before the above article posted a reply on the original blog. The above is what I gathered from the original blog but haven't verified it myself...
