I disagree vehemently about this: > If we take away this last resort from governments, they would react by enforcing client side blocklisting and DRMization as suggested in France[2], or force root certificate installation using legislation[3], or blocking large swathes of the internet as is the case with China.

China is of course different. Most countries made entirely ineffective laws and didn't bother following up.
