I did not intend this to hit the top of the front page lol. I just posted it and then came back 15 minutes later to it having exploded.

No worries

Thanks for securing the web

Thank them for making the web depend on a single US-based shady org, as if DNS was not enough.

Feel free to launch your own CA.

No-no, I would rather go back to the good old HTTP/1.1.

P.S. JS injection into TCP packets and other meddling with passthrough data should be banned legally, not technically via encryption.

I wish you good luck in court trying to get compensation for the damage you've got through a JS injection attack. Because people prefer to lock their valuables instead of constantly having to identify and sue thieves.

Not court, regulation. Wanna be a carrier? Then don't meddle with traffic. Otherwise, you are liable for all the child porn and drug trade that happen to cross your boundary.

Right, we actually agree on this. And where is regulation enforced? In courts. Who says the provider is liable? A court. This was my point: not locking your house means a lot of processing to get back to the place where you have been before - if it can ever happen. And I'd very much not go through a whole trial...

Regulation is enforced in courts only in the US, heh.

am i a carrier when i host my own wifi network?
