Definietly dictators' style of ruling.
In Polish Internet there was a news about Mozilla's plans to abandon
HTTP totally and use HTTPS. Mozilla's "plans" usually takes few years to
be implemented, but it looks rather disturbing.
There are at least hundreds of small pages located who-knows-where,
in free hosting servers with uptime outside any standards, with so
"dangerous" technologies like pure HTML made in Notepad. And these sites
are made as a hobby by electornic engineers, ham radio operators,
computer maniacs to share knowledge non-commercially. By introducing
compulsory paid certificates and hostings it looks like they want to
transform Internet into paid medium like a television, where you have
to buy a emission time. After preventing MS from doing something
similar about 2 decades ago, for me it looks like a dictatorship.
