Let's Encrypt is free right now, but it is still centralized. A court could order them to revoke certificates from specific websites and stop issuing new ones.



The more likely outcome wouldn't be a certificate being revoked, but a renewal of the certificate being declined. The certs are only valid for 3 months.


And this is why it’s important to have these CAs in different justifications.

It’s been a pain convincing companies to fund them though.
