Felicitas Pojtinger 🌅So, it turns out the German implementation of eIDAS (electronic ID wallet for e.g. age attestation) will require an Apple/Google account to function
Absolutely pathetic
If a German citizen gets sanctioned by the US government, once this is implemented (later this year), that means they will no longer be able to be a participating member of German society, e.g. to show their (digital) driver's license to traffic police
mjarteaga@pojntfx Extraterritorial Surveillance:
There is a theoretical risk that, because it is integrated into the OS ecosystem, the manufacturer (under laws such as the U.S. Cloud Act) could be compelled to provide metadata on when and where the wallet is used, which conflicts with the GDPR’s prohibition on tracking. 2/2
