Security that we never needed before, but now suddenly we do. Now we're dependent on a third party gatekeeper for permission to have a web site. Free, for now. It's a move by the weasels-that-be to turn the Internet into yet another tool for profit and control.
[–] Dr_Satan@lemm.ee [S] -4 points 2 years ago Thank you. Use http and Chrome calls you insecure and there's a red flag and you have to hit a special button... daunting for the average user for sure. Firefox is good tho. One person pointed out that letsencrypt is backed by a bunch of good powerful people. Which might be bullshit but it makes me think again. permalink fedilink source parent
