I know that I can simply make my own private certificate authority that only I and my family trust. But is there some public provider like letsencrypt that is in a free-er part of the world than the US?

    There are some commercial Certificate Authorities that offer free certificates. But in contrast Let’s Encrypt is a non-profit.

    • ZeroSSL (Austria)
    • Actalis (Italy)

      Also the controlling party in Italy is practically neo-fascist and Austria is also sliding there again with their Nazi party like AfD in Germany and VB in Belgium getting a huge portion of votes.

      I don’t see how it is that much better than a US non- profit.

      I think the core thing is that you have to know of a bunch of different CA options and switch when necessary or on a compromised CA.

        The thing is, the US is already fascist. Austria (current day) would be an improvement.

        Also, you know the downfall of Autistici/Inventati - No - check my post history. One of the events that happened is that US owned PIR removed one of the domain names since they own .org. One less US entity, one less point of failure.
