#WSocial: "We want to promote European digital sovereignty.

@bladecoder @_elena @EUCommission Theoretically you can first confirm the loop with the device (that's the qr code stuff) and then use its camera to scan the scan code on your id document. Then this could be looked up in the standard way (probably varying degrees of access to your government's API) to get "temporary" access to your ID info. Then it can do whatever comparing it needs via face scan, which doesn't work well, to validate the person and device together....
@bladecoder @_elena @EUCommission Then you issue certificates to the device.
There may be some way that they could to the talking to the government with the device but I don't know how they'd establish firm enough trust. That's one reason why they think we shouldn't be able to run our own stuff on our own devices.
At any rate, once the cert lives on the device you can just let the id info on the server get discarded with memory/session cleanup. WE still have to trust that they're doing so.

@_elena @EUCommission Es scheint als wäre WSocial für die EU-Kommission ein Fortschritt, während hier bei Mastodon niemand nachvollziehen kann, warum die nicht einfach Allin gehen und konsequent das Fediverse pushen. Wahrscheinlich weil der Step für die X- und Bluesky-Menschen zu groß erscheint.

@_elena @EUCommission So, if you don't have an Android(like) OS on your phone/tablet/TV or iOS on your phone/iPad OS on your tablet you cannot get a Wsocial account?
But you should be able to use a Eurosky account interact with to Wsocial users, right? As both use the AT Protocol which includes federation functionality.
And Eurosky only requires an email address to register an account.

@_elena @EUCommission lol, fighting against
age verification or identity verification, but also asking passport & id verification for Europe apps at the name of decentralization.

@_elena @EUCommission W referred as wicked social?

@EUCommission @_elena after reading about this I just opened a Eurosky "MU" account instead. Will stay on Mastodon but may migrate my BlueSky account to MU: https://mu.social/profile/daveeveritt.eurosky.social
@cubeExplorer @EUCommission @_elena And in theory you should be able to use a Eurosky account and MU to connect and interact with Wsocial users?
Both use the AT Protocol.

@_elena @EUCommission
> "No further comment necessary."The irony stings: 'Digital Sovereignty' tied to foreign app stores, and 'security' meaning surveillance.
These contradictions do demand deeper explanation. -
