But unlike Kazakhstan, the EU can actually ORDER browser makers to keep approving their backdoored certificates. And then mandate that anyone serving their own citizens use them.
Look at what the UK has already done with its “think of the children” bills. The UK is weaker than the EU

- sroussey 3y agoMozilla should get out of the EU and soon Firefox will be #1 there.
- alwayslikethis 3y agoHow? Mozilla can just get out of the EU. Google can spin off its browser to a nominally independent project (Chromium) and offer plugins for Google functionality. I don't see how they will win this.
- ShakataGaNai 3y ago> the EU can actually ORDER browser makers to keep approving their backdoored certificates But they can’t. Maybe they can order some companies to do so, those companies which would fight tooth and nail in court, whom cumulatively have more money than the EU (probably).. . and certainly more lawyers. But at the end of the day, they couldn’t force every browser. No company would accept a website that doesn’t work with 30% of the internet. It would, once again, knee cap that company. And while I’m not sure of every browser, I’m fairly sure you can delete CA’s in most browsers today. You certainly can on an OS level. So as soon as one CA get’s p0wned by the government, the techies would just run around and “help” all their friends and family delete the CA from being trusted.
