You are misunderstanding the purpose of SSL certificates. An SSL certificate certifies that a specific private key belongs to the owner/operator of a specific domain (or so it is intended), not that the domain is trustworthy. It's only about identity, not about trustworthiness, which is how it should be, it's not up to some private business to decide who is trustworthy and who is not.
