    Pretty shure that same law applies here, baking Spyware into shit is definitely the same level as disabling encryption…

    Also i don’t think Mozilla is going to comply either way.

      But it’s not spyware. The eIDAS law proposes that governments can insert certificates that spoof the originator. A subtle difference.

      I really hope Mozilla don’t comply

        Still weakening encryption standards.

        It would force the inclusion of a “trusted root” into browsers & OSs with the purpose of allowing government entities to spoof certificates. As certificate pinning is becoming mainstream, I would assume it’ll require browser & app vendors to weaken those controls too.

        You’d hope ECHR’s prior ruling would block this too. For the exact same rationale.

          No… That’s spyware with less steps… Theres no cracking, hacking, Trojans etc. involved at all, it’s a direct and straightforward addition of the spyware under color of the states authority.
