Encryption in Gemini does not mandate outsourcing; more capsules "get" it and quit outsourcing the certificate management to the monopolists' and GPL violators' front group, Linux Foundation

Adoption of outsourcing/centralisation for certificates isn't much better than the UEFI snake-oil. Users lose power, not gain power. Mozilla already ramps up this effort to impose CAs on every site (the latest build of Firefox), appeasing Google/GAFAM and screwing the users of Firefox.
