> It's highly suspected that Dark Matter is working on behalf of the UAE to get a root trusted certificate in order to spy on encrypted traffic at their will.

This is false. DarkMatter already operates an intermediate CA, so _if_ this were something they were actually planning to do they wouldn't need a trusted root CA to do it. So far, there's been no evidence presented that DarkMatter has abused their intermediate cert in the past, or that they plan to abuse any root cert they might be granted in the future.
