That's dumb and will never happen
In the US there was a period of time where it was illegal to export encryption above a certain level, so in a way it has already happened. Dumb has never stopped governments before.
Friend of mine back then bought the T-shirt 😁
How would ssl work if you ban encryption?
There was a proposal to have webbrowsers have to accept government certificates. Consequently they could man-in-the-middle/take over domains.
You could argue it's no different from another central authority that can issue trusted certificates. But it's government's rather than independent orgs.
Yeah I hope so it would be so idiotic to try.
I mean... they literally try to fuck up the internet every few years. Eventually they'll get someth8ng through.
