  1. In firefox, go to

    about:preferences#privacy

    scroll down to Certificates and click View.

    Then if you highlight certain certificates, you can remove them.

    As Firefox and Chrome (Chromium) are open source, someone outside the EU can recompile them to restore this option to remove the certificates.

  2. 80s and 90s were the golden age of everything and we should actively find a way to revert time and block it in a loop of those decades forever.

  3. Whatya gonna do? Ah i forgot, we are in eu. Can we express our deepest concern and forget about it? Yeah sounds like EU solution doesnt it?

  4. ah, the bi-annual anti-privacy proposal. They’ve rejected all of them so far, will they do it again? Place your bets.

  5. Technologically cumbersome to break encryption, therefore the next logical step is to compromise the certificate authorities. Kind of obvious when you think about it.

    99% of the time the problem is not technology, but the conflict of interest between one group of people and another.
