[Chapter-delegates] IETF proposing sanctioned man-in-the-middle attacks

[Elver Loho]

Hi all,

I just came across this post, which looks at IETF's recent proposal to
lower privacy and security on the web:

Does anyone know why on earth the IETF would propose something insane
like this? Just a couple of months ago an IETF conference agreed to
start making the internet a more secure and a more private place, in
response to the Snowden papers. And now they publish this.

What's the internal politics at IETF that would create such a thing?

Best,
Elver
