<p>🚨 Let’s Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: “Let’s Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTF”</p><p>Dear <span class="h-card"><a href="https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>EUCommission</span></a></span>, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find <span class="h-card"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@letsencrypt" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>letsencrypt</span></a></span> €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.</p><p>If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?</p><p>(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)</p><p>CC <span class="h-card"><a href="https://social.nlnet.nl/@nlnet" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>nlnet</span></a></span> @[email protected] </p><p><a href="/tags/usa/" rel="tag">#USA</a> <a href="/tags/fascism/" rel="tag">#fascism</a> <a href="/tags/opentechfund/" rel="tag">#OpenTechFund</a> <a href="/tags/letsencrypt/" rel="tag">#LetsEncrypt</a> <a href="/tags/ssl/" rel="tag">#SSL</a> <a href="/tags/tls/" rel="tag">#TLS</a> <a href="/tags/encryption/" rel="tag">#encryption</a> <a href="/tags/eu/" rel="tag">#EU</a> <a href="/tags/web/" rel="tag">#web</a> <a href="/tags/tech/" rel="tag">#tech</a> <a href="/tags/smallweb/" rel="tag">#SmallWeb</a> <a href="/tags/smalltech/" rel="tag">#SmallTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@publictorsten/114223873439053263" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="mastodon.social/@publictorsten/114223873439053263"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.social/@publictorsten</span><span class="invisible">/114223873439053263</span></a></p>
