@_elena @EUCommission I don't even understand how this thing works. They claim to have no access to the user's identity data and that it stays local on the device. So why do they need you to scan your passport while they are countless ways to authenticate anonymously?
In a press report they say that the goal is to confirm you're humain without revealing who you are, yet in the very next sentence they say that they encourage a culture where users engage under their real names, WTF? -

@ozzelot @andre123 @_elena @EUCommission
The App Store and Play Store ARE American, so if that's their conclusion, they failed to understand the question.
@leeloo @ozzelot @_elena @EUCommission that's true, but also I don't think they really want (can) break with USA... as long as Trump is slightly more reasonable than usual they will accept whatever and go on without anything serious to differentiate EU. At least it looks like this to me right now.

Interesting move toward digital sovereignty. It will be interesting to see how identity verification shapes user trust and platform adoption in Europe

@_elena @EUCommission Why does it feel like Palantir is behind the scenes there somewhere?
@LePertti @_elena @EUCommission
who needs Palantir when you already have google and apple involved.

@_elena @EUCommission If they are genuinely seeking digital sovereignty, they should include #fdroid as a software store from which the app can be downloaded.

@bjoern do you have any proof of this?
@thezero no. Maybe the smiley at the end should emphasize that this was a sarcastic comment. @LePertti @_elena @EUCommission

I love the idea of the EU, but sometimes they don't know their arse from their elbow. Proper facepalm moment.

@_elena hoffentlich fällt die @EUCommission damit so richtig auf die fresse. Sorry. Ich will niemandem was Böses- aber halt am liebsten wenn mein gegenüber das auch so sieht.

@andre123 @leeloo @ozzelot @_elena @EUCommission 100%! I wouldn't mind betting there'd be, (one-way?), freedom of access agreement with the states anyway - DO NOT TRUST THE #EUCommission - unless you do not mind being observed, and depending on your political viewpoint, being victimised through the various tools we have already seen being used in amerikkka.

Yeah - this was never going to work.
They could have just set up an EU Commission Mastodon instance - much simpler and cheaper!

@_elena @EUCommission Also apart from that - as Wsocial already plans to monetarize itself starting '28, which means either free (for data) or advertising (with data) - or both, this is not an independent platform AT ALL. The current phase is for getting people socialized there, who then will be too accustomed to it to leave.

@_elena
There is a proper word for people who do stuff like this in Flemish and Dutch: Prutsers.
@EUCommission -
@_elena @EUCommission So to access this "open" space we need to download an application from the stores from the selfsame companies you criticised for having a gatekeeper roles? AND these are the companies we want to become more independent off. Hypocritical the last degree. Hard to believe that this actually about freedom and sovereignty, and not about building yet another surveillance and censorship apparatus. Just "Under EU controll".
@gilgwath @_elena @EUCommission Control is the key word here.
