Do you refuse use sites that only have a domain validation cert?
@ThatPrilla @Some_Emo_Chick Well, I don't use this CA myself for certain reasons. Why? Well, it mainly has to do with trust.
When I visit websites, I generally always check who issued the TLS certificate and whether the triust of chains is complete. yes, on government websites that use a certificate from this CA, I only retrieve data if necessary, but never enter personal or confidential data.
1/n
@ThatPrilla @Some_Emo_Chick But where I'm definitely out are site providers who, for whatever reason, think they have to break TLS connections using MITM, or use so-called service providers who do this. I don't enter anything there, no user, health, financial or other personal data!
The best, no, the worst example was this association from Munich, which on the one hand promoted free networks but on the other used Cloudflare as MITM.
2/3
@ThatPrilla @Some_Emo_Chick Someone who shows that users are being taken for fools and dragged through the ring with a nose ring has lost my trust! I'm out of there ...
