upvote here - security is not the only consideration in a post-industrial civilization -- by requiring certificates at all times to publish on the open web, you have created a certificate authority that will expand and expand again. Secondly an "individual PC" will not be trusted to publish web content, it has to be from a "trusted" IP address, preferably cloudy with constant internal logging. This is already happening. Is the opposite better? zero certificates and any operator with any motive? no it is not better. Neither is better.. there have to be tradeoffs. safety != security != police-state
