Good! Encrypt everything.<p>A valid cert should not be an indicator that the content on a given site is verified to not be harmful. It serves as verification that the content you received came from the domain you requested. The role of Certificate Authorities is not to censor content and never should be.

A DV certificate does not certify that example.com is trustworthy; it only certifies that the content you&#x27;re seeing is indeed from example.com. If users are mistakenly assuming DV certs have more meaning than that, then that is a UI issue with browsers, not an issue with the CAs.
