Website owners can decide: don’t use a cert.
Users can decide: find a browser which doesn’t put importance on cert usage. You’ll find this hard to find because every browser manufacturer realizes that 99.9% of users cannot make sound security decisions, so they shouldn’t have to. Things should default to secure.
There’s a trade off between protecting users and having a 100% free and open internet. An insecure internet is untrustworthy and therefore not useful, IMO.
It's up to web site owners to decide whether to implement encryption, and up to users to decide whether to use these web sites or not.
