I want to thank Mozilla for producing this. It's never easy to summarize, formalize, and enumerate what boils down to values.
I'm happy to see a stark stance on any surveillance activity. Different people with different values and from different cultures will disagree on who are the people that are ok to surveil: maybe you think surveilling police targets is good, maybe you think surveilling the police is good; maybe you think children must be protected from the Internet, maybe you think children have a right to privacy. The WebPKI serves everyone, and its universal trust requirements are simply incompatible with entities involved in any kind of monitoring or surveillance of people, regardless of how socially necessary or positive it might be considered. 2023-01-31 21:16 GMT+01:00 Kathleen Wilson <[email protected]>: > All, > > I will greatly appreciate your feedback on the following new wiki page. > > https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Root_Inclusion_Considerations > > As you all know, sometimes we have very difficult decisions to make in > regards to new inclusion or continued inclusion of root certificates in > Mozilla's root store.
