That's what's funny about some of our security mechanisms today...for instance the browser tries to help you ensure that this is the site you really meant to reach but it has no information about whether the site is under "new management" (which you tend to care about for something like a restaurant).
Maybe companies should be mandated to update their key stores every time they change their board members, say, so that the old keys are revoked and you must take some action to "approve" of the new people running the company.
- shabble 11y agoIt'd also be kinda neat if you could somehow tag your trust conditional on a content hash of the service's ToC or Privacy Policy. It'd be rather impractical in today's world, although maybe machine readable policy formats would make matching easier additions/deletions of key items rather than just a text hash. Balancing the user effort of reading and flagging each policy term (and considering all the weird implications of each change) vs the utility of being notified would be tricky though. Maybe some sort of collaborative/curated lists of 'substantial T&C changes' similar to adblocker filterlists could be produced? (Or maybe they already are?)
