Trying to equivocate between Let's Encrypt and eMudhra is crazy, as is trying to argue that they should both be trusted globally by default by everybody. I trust LE because of their track record. I had never heard of eMudhra before this.
You say this, in 2026, when the EU is trying to move to an EU Sovereign Cloud Framework: https://commission.europa.eu/news-and-media/news/sovereign-c...
I have a deep problem with your usage of the word "need". EU citizens can make a free choice (or not) to trust US-based certificate authorities, and US citizens can make a free choice (or not) to trust EU-based certificate authorities. There are certainly many reasons why that should be the case. But in a world where we need to negotiate whether food safety standards in X economic block are sufficient for Y's citizens and vice versa, and this is literally the stuff of trade deals, the idea that US-based certificate authorities should be universally trusted because of little more than historical legacy is not the policy position of people who believe in free markets and free choices.
