Enforcing TLS protocol invariants by rolling versions every six weeks
I&#x27;m surprised that nobody is concerned that Google (or whoever) is spamming the Internet to make everyone do what Google &#x2F; TLS devs want them to do.<p>First, it&#x27;s coercive. Second, it&#x27;s in principle spam, even if the cost is affordable in this case. Third, it sets three bad precedents:<p>* Google can do whatever they want<p>* Hijacking user computers for ulterior purposes (by utilizing Chrome) is ok<p>* Spam and coercion are ok. And if you argue it&#x27;s ok in this instance, you aren&#x27;t thinking past your nose.<p>Imagine if Symantec or Microsoft tried it; how would people react? Well you don&#x27;t have to wonder, because they will.
