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

Regarding the "not participating in society":
The eIDAS directive includes a guarantee that identification still needs to be possibly by analog means. So it's at least a loss of comfort, but alternatives must exist.
Still a bad move.
