Given that a revocation is simply a publication of additional data by a CA, and does not directly affect the customer’s systems, how is the TRO in this case not unconstitutional? I’m not a lawyer but it feels like prior restraint, no?
- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoIt does directly affect the customer’s systems. Revoking the certificates would have broken the customer’s website as an immediate, foreseen, and arguably intentional consequence. I’m skeptical any judge would buy an argument that this is an expressive act. Even if one would, I very much doubt that a company which argued it has a free speech right to break your website with 24 hours notice would survive the ensuing controversy.
