How do you know that just because it's encrypted that the server isn't doing anything malicious? You just have to trust that's the case. However, that actually doesn't really help the user that much. HTTPS is a different protocol that uses either SSL or TLS to encrypt your request so that if someone intercepts your request, they can't read its contents. Everything I've mentioned above is the HTTP protocol. Obviously, that's very dangerous as anyone with a little bit of know-how can intercept that and gain access to your credentials. So, for example, if you're logging into a website, that request will contain your username and password. Anyone that has access to the "path" your request takes through the internet can view that request, and see all information in it. When you send a request (this can be anything from accessing a website by typing in the URL in your browser, to filling out something in a web page and clicking "submit" and many other things), information about that request is sent over the internet to the server that will handle your request.
