Er... you're trusted by a CA that's owned by a company that resides in Austin Texas...
Texas hasn't exactly got a glowing reputation in the software industry due to its mountain of intellectual property lawsuits filed by patent trolls... er, sorry, I mean non-practicing entities
Excuse me while I reserve some skepticism about just how trusted your security certificates should be.
- vtlynch 11y agoAbsolutely pointless and irrelevant. This is the same logic that Donald Trump uses to dismiss all Mexican people as rapists.
- balabaster 11y agoExcept that the courts are used there time and again to strong arm well meaning companies into paying millions out to fight frivolous lawsuits that run them into the ground. Exactly the kind of tactic you'd expect intelligence agencies to use to strong arm encryption companies into giving up their data.
- Karunamon 11y agoI'm not sure what you think CAs have to do with patent trolling. If there was a patent on the PKI, many large companies would have been sued already.
- balabaster 11y agoIt's not the patent trolling per se, it's the abuse of the legal system to strong arm companies into doing things they have no power to prevent that seems prevalent in that area of the country.
