Comment on EU Article 45 requires that browsers trust certificate authorities appointed by governments

Removal of trust happened many times in the past. And like I said, it’s not changing anything other than making things easier. You can still add certificates to the browser trusted list if you have access to the person’s computer, which when you install any software you do. Perhaps the best middle ground would be to add certificates but make them conditional that is to say ask the user what they want to do and offer multiple options. Trust for this domain only, trust always, just this time, don’t trust.

The current text of Article 45 requires that browsers trust CAs appointed by governments

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article. You can keep shilling for government surveillance if you want.

  Am not shilling, am merely pointing out there are easier ways to spy on people without putting it through legal channels.

    And another pointless argument. “They could spy on you easier means they’re not.”
    
    I know I said I was done, but good lord. I can’t tell if you are trying to troll or you’re completely devoid of logic or reason.

    Okay, so you officially refuse to think and just want to wear a tinfoil hat. Good luck with that. Leave the rest of us out of it. Seeing conspiracy theories everywhere and then go online to argue and paying for bills pretty much negates everything you say.
