    I’m so sick of being stressed about the same thing over and over again. There needs to be a large scale investigation on the people that keeps trying to push this. I’m shocked there isn’t a constant media outrage to match these attacks. And I don’t hear anybody talking of codifying encryption integrity neither. It’s always just privacy experts discovering such attacks at the last minute seemingly by chance and trying to rally people against it in time. Does nobody in positions of power who care to stop these?

      Media targets the average citizen. Average citizens won’t easily understand the ramifications, so the media writes on clickable stories instead.

      I haven’t had a chance to check anything yet, but given who (Mozilla) is reacting and how, I suspect this is just another case of EU authorities acting to protect their citizens from (American) corporate abuse

        Not in this case. I suggest you read the open letter (which is signed by 335 scientists and researchers from 32 countries so far).

        Or, do you consider it to be corporate abuse when Mozilla prevents governments from using their certificate authorities to launch MITM attacks and impersonate websites for the purpose of intercepting internet traffic? Because that is what we’re talking about.

          I don’t know whether it’s true.

          I am however confident that you don’t know either.

          But as for the “slightest” research, riddle me this: Why is there no link to the proposal in the article?
