The #EU has reached an agreement on #eIDAS, rolling back the state of Internet security by 12 years, and by forcing browser vendors / root store operators to include government Root CA, disallowing #CertificateTransparency and making it illegal to fix (unless you can influence #ETSI, which is conveniently government friendly when it comes to surveillance).
This is bad. Really bad.
