Fascism is an alliance between the state and capital, and it is the role of the state to arrange a managerial role for capital over the planet. LetsEncrypt costs less than a million dollars to make the web as we know it possible to exist on for anyone that isn't a gigantic corporation. the only reason one would attack systems like LetsEncrypt, F-Droid, etc. is to consolidate an oligopoly. LetsEncrypt is used by some unbelievable share of the internet, 600 million websites which is in the neighborhood of ~60% of websites with an SSL certificate. Using the state to intervene with some flimsy pretext to recapture the profit of forcing 600 million people and organizations to fork it over to the Most Favored Capitalist is the driver behind the wheel of fascism. same as private prisons, same as tariff-driven price shocks, same as private postal service, and so on.
