Where you see security, I see control.
A way to commoditize the launch of ideas and information.
Maybe 30 years from now, they will not prohibit any type of communication that is not properly licensed and standardized. As they do with commercial imports and exports. In Brazil today when you buy a product from another state of the federation, the tax goes partly to the origin of the product shipped and partly to the destination where it is purchased.
- StavrosK 6y agoHow does that commoditize the launch of ideas and information?
- crazypython 6y agoWhen enabled, it forces a domain to be signed by a CA to be displayed. Effectively giving the CA a veto over the content.
- StavrosK 6y agoI guess, but only in the way your power provider has veto over the content. The CA doesn't care about the content, only about you proving that you own the domain.
- crazypython 6y agoLike CAs, the power company can be controlled by the government. Let's say governments ban youtube-dl. The prosecution gets a court order to order CAs to not renew youtube-dl.org. If they're using a Let's Encrypt style 30 day certificate, youtube-dl has 30 days to comply or be soft-banned from the internet.
- StavrosK 6y agoWhy go to the CA when they can just order the domain itself to be shut down? If there's a court order against you, your site being HTTP won't save you.
