I'm so sick of being stressed about the same thing over and over again. There needs to be a large scale investigation on the people that keeps trying to push this. I'm shocked there isn't a constant media outrage to match these attacks. And I don't hear anybody talking of codifying encryption integrity neither. It's always just privacy experts discovering such attacks at the last minute seemingly by chance and trying to rally people against it in time. Does nobody in positions of power who care to stop these?
The media is generally owned by very wealthy people and, as a result, reports in ways that benefit the rich and powerful. Centralization of media is very bad for democracy.
My dude the Crypto wars get wheeled out again every few years and has for decades at this point. It’s so tiring.
I haven't had a chance to check anything yet, but given who (Mozilla) is reacting and how, I suspect this is just another case of EU authorities acting to protect their citizens from (American) corporate abuse
What a wildly inappropriate waste of a thesaurus.
Are you competing in some obscure Internet irony competition?
I don't know whether it's true.
I am however confident that you don't know either.
But as for the "slightest" research, riddle me this: Why is there no link to the proposal in the article?
You think you’re a pragmatist, but you’re just an ignorant fool.
How is giving any EU state the ability to be a certificate authority in your browser for issing a certificate for any site, without them needing to follow the rules the browser vendors have for what makes an authority trustworthy, with no option to disable them or add additional checks to their validity, "protecting their citizens from (American) corporate abuse"?
