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 If you get sanctioned by the US, like the ICC judge Nicolas Guillou, you are already fucked.

There is also an even worse case, where the EU has decided to effectively unperson Hüseyin Doğru over his reporting on Gaza and not only can he not participate in a society, its illegal for any EU citizen to even give him money to not starve.

I think we are doing pretty well even without the digital ID.
