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
I've said it before an I'll say it again: This entire project of identity verification with Apple/Google-account bound mobile devices is going to lead the continent down a dark, dark path into full technological submission to the US
maya_b 🇨🇦it'll probably be even more fun for non-resident (dual) citizens who don't (for whatever reason) have a based in Germany mobile phone account - and thus have no access to install whatever authentication mechanism is required.
