This is why we need to decentralize the CA function. Let's Encrypt is a good start.

I can't get over how awful it is that in the year 2015 practically every website in the world is secured by paying gobs of money to a member of some shadowy cabal of random companies that are in every browser's default trust list because somebody knew somebody who knew somebody who worked at Netscape in 1995.
