Most of the times, "sollen" and "müssen" are interchangeable. However, there are fine nuances between the words. In that case, "müssen" is more direct and used as a command which has consequences when not followed while "sollen" is more of a prompt or demand that hasn't to be followed.
I think a better translation for 'sollen' would be 'shall'.

DNS usually isn’t, and TLS still runs over TCP, which is vulnerable to this type of hijacking, so yes, it is indeed still relevant due to both resolution as well as transport layer. NSA would be very bad at their job indeed if they couldn’t issue valid TLS certificates for any domain to themselves.
>NSA would be very bad at their job indeed if they couldn’t issue valid TLS certificates for any domain to themselves. Is there any evidence of this? With certificate transparency being mandatory a few years ago, you'd think that the NSA would be caught at least once.
The NSA have plenty of tricks. They intercept devices being shipped around the country/world, they tap cables, they dig into airgapped networks, they compromise satellites, they compromise the internal networks of the world's biggest corporations. They've been doing this for decades. If we don't believe they can compromise one organization out of 270...
To not even be sure whether a website you visit, or a file you download is actually what its creator says it is, is like picking up an orange but the government secretly replaces it with an apple that contains almost no vitamin C in it at all. You have the right to seek out and eat an orange for your immune system and survival, and no government should have the right to interfere with that, at any time. This law is a…
Absolutely true and brilliant comparison. +1

> Whoever proposed it should be ashamed of themselves Name and shame: Interior Minister Horst Seehofer of the conservative-authoritarian CSU. He and his party friends are who want this. We have the chance to kick them out of office in 2021, it's time for the stranglehold of Conservative internet-printers (Internetausdrucker, a German word for tech illiterates) as Interior Ministers to end once and for all .
Let me guess, this word describes people who print out their emails?
Germany hassome weired laws that prohibit the use of "hacker tools". How can there be a German company creating these tools?

What. Its awful. Privacy doesnt need comparisons or analogies. We have the language to describe privacy in native terms. We dont need help of figurative speech mixing and muddying the waters.
Humour aside, analogies are really important and I have never understood the disparagement of comparing one group or situation to another. Analogising is a tool to help understand one other and promote diversity.

Snowden uncovered astonishing breaches of Trust in the US, has there been a major loss of Hosts here?
Nope, everyone happily shovels all of their data, as well as all of the data their customers provide them, into AWS, which is very cosy with the US military. You can be reasonably certain that anything in AWS is available to US military intelligence without judicial oversight.
Individual companies now need to earn back basic trust.
This doesn't mean you have to completely abandon your favourite service, just have to modify the way you utilize it.
For example, if you absolutely have to use Google Drive, be sure to encrypt your files with appropriate strength first and assume they are actively trying to decrypt and build a file on you.

> Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say

They just have to hijack one existing CA that's within their jurisdiction and force it to issue MITM certs. Key pinning or certificate transparency may mitigate this. Or the MITM box could use some kind of HTTP downgrade attack and not worry about certificates at all.
That would "burn" the CA (it will be removed and/or blacklisted from every major browser and operating system once it's exposed, and exposing it gets much easier with the recent push towards certificate transparency), so it can only be done once per CA.
