Mozilla Is Considering Revoking TeliaSonera Trust For Sales To Dictators
ndogg writes "Mozilla is considering pulling TeliaSonera from its list of root certificate SSL providers. They have asked for comments on this on their mailing list. They're concerned about the use of the certificates by those governments for spying on its citizens, particularly in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan — where TeliaSonera operates subsidiaries or is heavily invested. Mozilla's concern is that TeliaSonera has possibly issued certificates that allow hardline government servers to masquerade as legitimate websites — so-called man-in-the-middle attacks — and decrypt web traffic. This alleged activity would contradict Mozilla's policy against 'knowingly issuing certificates without the knowledge of the entities whose information is referenced in the certificates.'"
The 58,000 of you are nothing compared to the 400,000 civilians killed in a war that you had to use a false flag operation to start. What about them? What about the ongoing effects of what you left behind? My wife's cousin not only can't speak but has no concept of language because of the dioxins in the food chain. It really makes my blood boil when I see shit in the media that ignores the cost to Vietnam while making a big deal over the loss of American or Australian lives, or the effects of agent orange on foreign veterans. There's nothing to feel sorry for, that's the price you paid for a war you had no business starting.
If I can pull a Godwin, the winners of WW2 get to write history, build memorials to their lost, and demonise the other side. Accused perpetrators were tried and executed. There's no mourning for the Nazi soldiers who followed their government's orders to fight. There doesn't even seem to be much sympathy for the civilians who perished in the fire bombings. Why doesn't VN get the same luxury? They won the fucking war and got their own country back, but they're still painted as the bad guys. There's no sympathy for the civilians, the perpetrators of the war were never held to account, there's no compensation for the lingering effects. And I get a nice reminder of this every time I catch up with the extended family.
