Is there a reason "http://" was used in the twitter href example and not "https://"?

In the video, the instructor types in their twitter link with http:// and I'm curious if there's a reason to use that vs. https://. Thanks!

It doesn't matter both are going to head in the same direction. The 'S' in HTTPS means secured and without it means unsecured. Though you are right should've used https://as it's more appropriate.
