This is just how root certificates work no? The assumption that the Russians will abuse this is just as valid for any US company, given what we know form the Snowden leaks.

That's how root certs work, m*scovians will abuse it.
Controlling the certs doesn't control the keys. Access to the keys is necessary to inspect the traffic. Even without government control of the root certificates, if they can access the keys, they can decrypt the traffic.
Now, controlling the certs can open you up to MITM, but that's a risk no matter who controls the root.

Wow, I didn't realize oligarchs could pay off their karma that easily. I wonder why more don't do it.
More ignorant Epstein propaganda from the well-known US state-sponsored propaganda site 'mediazona'. I wonder how all the Russia haters reconcile with the fact that the Epstein psycho class earn their money and get their power by convincing every Merican that 'Russia baad', 'Iran baad', 'Venezuela baad', 'China baad', 'Palestine/gaza baad' and so on and on.
I mean at some point even the dumbest hardcore Epstein believer/supporter will have to wonder if this is all true, or if some of it could be manipulation ? ..and if some are manipulation.. where does it stop ??
Well, if the propagandized Russophobes could at least TRY to review the claims from the US state propaganda apparatus before attacking other nations, or at least TRY to learn the counter arguments to the simplistic 'Russia baad' narrative: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6-hcqTF_eSc6PIdk3QIwtoxtTK1wr30y
But we all know that won't happen. ..I guess hate/anger insulates people from the truth, and keeps them going despite lack of reasonable evidence/facts. Pure 'lynch mob' mentality.
Well played by the Western Oligarchy swines, well played..
