In order for a system like that to work there needs to be a central authenticator. If there’s a central authenticator it’s going to be a for profit corp behind it. If it’s a corp then it’s going to show favoritism to its “trusted validated” companies. And that’s how you get threats to net neutrality. Does not having the trusted symbol mean you’re untrustworthy? Are smaller companies now at a disadvantage because they aren’t trusted?
