Reposting this here because I just learned this art got my account restricted on Twitter for being offensive :3

First I hear about EU's intention to force all browsers to accept state-mandated certificate authorities which would enable those same states to subvert TLS encryption at will. This is super dangerous and must not pass. Thanks @mozilla for the heads up!
