Letsencrypt is under US jurisdiction. Is there a free-er alternative?

I know that I can simply make my own private certificate authority that only I and my family trust. But is there some public provider like letsencrypt that is in a free-er part of the world than the US?

There are some commercial Certificate Authorities that offer free certificates. But in contrast Let’s Encrypt is a non-profit.

• ZeroSSL (Austria)
• Actalis (Italy)

Also the controlling party in Italy is practically neo-fascist and Austria is also sliding there again with their Nazi party like AfD in Germany and VB in Belgium getting a huge portion of votes.

I don’t see how it is that much better than a US non- profit.

I think the core thing is that you have to know of a bunch of different CA options and switch when necessary or on a compromised CA.

Both Italy and Austria are EU member states , fall under the GDPR AND NIS2 and while both government(even under the FPÖ) have their downsides neither has legislation that is even remotely close to what the US even have today (and had for decades) and unlike the US both countries still have a very well working judical system and the ECJ.

So. Yes. While not perfect, their situation is massively better than a US non for profit. Total different league. Not even in the same ballpark.
