Comment on Sky parental control system blocks code.jquery.comparent

The point they were making is that googleapi and code.jquery.com don't count as trusted (at least not until you verify the hash)

The domains are obviously trusted to a degree. The objective of the hash is just to allow a content addressed[0] clientside web cache, and avoid talking to them most of the time. Good for privacy, security and load times.
