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
@pojntfx This scenario raises two main conflicts:
Availability and Access: The GDPR and EU principles require that access to fundamental rights not depend on third countries. Forcing a citizen to accept the terms and conditions of a private U.S. company in order to use their state-issued identity is viewed by many regulators as coercion that invalidates the “free consent” required by the GDPR. 1/2
@mjarteaga @pojntfx and who's gonna enforce the law of the state decides they won't? GDPR enforcement is already bad.
@elexia @mjarteaga @pojntfx Can someone sue?
