From the perspective of European govs: Why should only US entities (and companies like Cloudflare, Amazon or Google) be allowed to get access to communications content ?
It’s very logical that Europe wants to do the same.
- pard68 3y agoThen they should encourage European companies to do it, no legislate and muscle their way in.

- supriyo-biswas 3y agoEuropean CAs can apply to be included in the root stores, and Europeans can definitely write content-delivery (CDN) and content-parsing (browser) software.
- sam_lowry_ 3y agoEuropean CAs were in root stores. The case in hand I wrote several times about is the Belgian Root CA that was in all major browsers until it was withdrawn somewhere in 2015..2017 in favor of Digicert for everything public services in Belgium. This essentially gives a a free hand to NSA to spy non only on Belgians but also EU Institutions, NATO HQ, SWIFT and many more essential but not very public organizations headquartered in Belgium (ever heard of IPC? ENTSO-E?)
