The Pro Codes Act has been submitted as an amendment to the “must pass” National
Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). It allows copyrighted standards to be
incorporated by reference into the law, preventing people from accessing or
sharing these standards except through the systems the standards development
organizations have that "makes all portions of the standard so incorporated
publicly accessible online at no monetary cost and in a format that includes a
searchable table of contents and index, or equivalent aids to facilitate the
location of specific content. " Note that that does not include searchable text,
the ability to access it without a login, or any ability to host it elsewhere
(such as alongside the laws that incorporate it). The NDAA bill:

Chrome Root Store policy update looking to require an automated option for obtaining certificates - Lemmy.World
> Upcoming Policy Changes > > One of the major focal points of Version 1.5

these new requirements do not prohibit Chrome Root Store applicants from
supporting “non-automated” methods of certificate issuance and renewal, nor
require website operators to only rely on the automated solution(s) for
certificate issuance and renewal. The intent behind this policy update is to
make automated certificate issuance an option for a CA owner’s customers.

Safe Browsing list is only updated every 30 to 60 minutes, but 60% of all
phishing domains last only 10 minutes. This creates a significant time gap that
leaves people are unprotected from new malicious URLs. > > […]

Chromium Blog: Towards HTTPS by default - Lemmy.world
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/3301227
[https://lemmy.world/post/3301227] > Chrome will be experimenting with
defaulting to https:// if the site supports it, even when an http:// link is
used and will warn about downloads from insecure sources for “high-risk files”
(example given is an exe). They’re also planning on enabling it by default for
Incognito Mode and “sites that Chrome knows you typically access over HTTPS”.
