It's ironic you mention nihilism at the same time as the situation for those in Kazakhstan has been worsened, and whichever countries follow suit. They are not equally as bad off as they were before. Before they still had some security on https sites. Now they have none anywhere, and they also get to live with the performance impact of the MitM as well. I wonder if you would still have the same view if the US government adopted the same approach. As for "fixing the political issue", that is not our job at all. > >All the best, >Jacob >
