Cloudflare reportedly moving to acquire GlobalSign root CA
Original: Another step to put more users, sites and systems under the Cloudflare control... Also, "building" here isn't precise -
Cloudflare is reported to be in the process of buying GlobalSign, a root certificate authority, prompting criticism from security commentators who argue the deal would place more of the web's users, sites and systems under a single company's control. Critics also point to imprecise wording around the acquisition, noting the article itself describes the purchase as underway.
Why now: Concern over internet infrastructure and web trust being concentrated in one company's hands.
