Privacy & Freedom in the Information Age www.reddit.com

* eIDAS is a proposed EU regulation that lets governments give people free SSL certificates.
* You can use the certificate on your website and it will show your name like an EV certificate.
* For this to work, browsers have to know which certificates are signed by eIDAS root certs.
* So they have to have copies of eIDAS root certs.
* Apparently this lets the government backdoor all communications everywhere where they couldn't before.

Am I missing something?
