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. MCbx
I did just get in, but it must have taken more than a dozen clicks to
accept, then get, the expired certificate and ok its use. Iceweasel

I can certainly see why, with all the blather about it, most would back
out, and trinity's plans to take over the world would fail miserably.
How much does a new cert cost?
where do you have to buy it from?
how long are they good for?
