Google's intent is very straightforward; to disable TLS in the interest of their ad business. The post does not include how to whitelist domains (which should be recommended before you completely disable TLS). I did this today and yesterday to my iOS app and it took 2 minutes of editing Info.plist [0]. You shouldn't compromise app security in the interest of letting ad networks continue to serve unencrypted content to your user's devices.
