The EU is considering a very bad law called eIDAS that would:
- Force browsers to accept government certificate authorities
- Ban additional security checks on certificates (such as Certificate Transparency) unless the EU agrees to them
This would undo 10 years of improvements to encryption on the Web and create an environment very favorable to MitM attacks.
If you're an EU citizen, consider writing to the MEP responsible for the eIDAS file, Romana JERKOVIĆ (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/112747/ROMANA_JERKOVIC/home), to voice your concern.
