Buddy, 3 letter agencies don't need these weak keys, they straight up own root CAs.

Web of trust required a lot of work by users and was pretty bad in practice. This isn't that.

This would effectively be the same "root CAs come pre-installed" but they would be notaries rather than root CAs, with a predefined trust policy (maybe minimum of 2 notaries per leaf certificate)

Users would still just see a green lock icon same as before, no action needed.

The rest of them presumably wanted to continue doing business in the UK & did not want to IP-block the entire country.

shame it wasn't adopted. rent seeking CAs would never go for it.

That's such an insane response from the government. Why the hell are they printing, cutting and photocopying emails?

I don't get spam from a variety of languages.

The only foreign language spam I got was from Pokemon Go after I played it while visiting France & Spain. I received French and Spanish emails from them for years.

Wow. Having to disassemble & reassemble your entire laptop for that sounds annoying as hell.

What was the laptop debacle? I know people were upset over sponsoring DHH.
