    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?
