Thought experiment:
Let's Encrypt (npub19zc…jfcm) offers certificates to encrypt the traffic between a website & your browser.
They reside in the US & thus are subject to the judiciary system of the US.
What are the possible risks for websites outside the US, given the current unstable political situation & administration? What type of damage could an executive order do? How could this be mitigated?
Boosts appreciated.
