Microsoft is making it easier for the Thai government to break web encryption - The Verge

"The Thai government is looking to take greater control over its citizens' web encryption, according to a new report from Privacy International, and Microsoft is part of the problem."

'Used maliciously, the root certificate could allow the government to smuggle malware into otherwise legitimate pages, or present counterfeit versions of entire websites. ', "At issue is the Thai government's root certificate, which is used to verify HTTPS-enabled websites."

'Trusting the Thai certificate “should not be taken lightly”The Thai government has long exerted tight control over the internet, and the Thai military junta has only escalated the crackdown since taking power in 2014. '

'Apple’s Mac OS X does not accept the national root certificate by default, nor do the Chrome or Firefox web browsers. '
