Replying to @MattNiessner
Most researchers will be shocked at the number of authors. Researchers that work at large physics experiments like particle accelerators might take a minute to spot anything unusual. (Credit to @jorgecham for the chart)

Brilliant explainer on why Article 45 is a disaster in the making for security on the web.

HTTPS encryption is a remarkably good defense against government surveillance. Article 45 proposes to end that. It allows EU governments to mandate trust of their own certificate authorities and forbids browsers from enforcing new security measures. eff.org/deeplinks/2023/11/ar…
