Sanctioned has a double meaning here[1]: > 2. officially or formally ratified or confirmed. > 3. penalized, especially by way of discipline or to force compliance with legal obligations. So who can use lets encrypt? Those that are penalised or those that are confirmed. | ||

It took me a minute to understand the original post because the verb sanction means both itself and basically the opposite of itself. It would be better to say "any territory that the US has levied sanctions against". I thought LetsEncrypt had banned its usage in the US! The word for words like sanction is contronym. | ||
