SOPA sponsors return: "think of the children"

If they did, we'd get versions of Firefox and Chromium at least with the US certificate authorities root certs yanked out within a day, and companies scrambling to replace their SSL certs with certs that'd still be trusted by users.

Unless they made it illegal to, I'm sure we'd see all the major browsers work to deprecate those certificate authorities pretty quickly - not doing so would make SSL useless.

What about the recent Comodo breaches? Their certs are still trusted by all major browsers (as far as I'm aware).

I realise they weren't complicit in issuing the fraudulent certs, but the effect is the same.

Assuming that they bothered mentioning it.
