Then PayPal has the data and LE can follow the trail. Because it's about LE being able to tell who actually bought the certificate, telling me end users can't do that is kinda moving the goalposts.

There are certificate authorities all over the world, and many of them not in jurisdictions that would share data with your law enforcement.

Q1: What kinds of serious crimes involve law inforcement needing to chase up who's behind the purchase of a SSL certificate, anyway?

Q2: Can't the bad guys just buy a pre-paid debit card with cash if they're that desperate to cover their tracks?
