@makeitmythic @pojntfx "Too much money" is a funny thing to say for a US driving license. German prices are in the $4k ball park.
Not trying to diminish anything, just giving a point of reference.

@fallbackerik @pojntfx @arjen
Ah, you were talking about *that* app being installed via fdroid, got itI'm not sure if it follows from that document that they will require installation via the play store but they mention the check for that ("accountDetails.appLicensingVerdict") so they collect it at least
OP only mentions that you need a Google account to install the app from Google play, I'm not sure if the play integrity checks work without an account or if it is needed for that
-
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
@pojntfx Hopefully the huge legal issues with this will delay it.

@fallbackerik @pojntfx @arjen so yeah, good point, maybe you don't need an account, but it still wouldn't work an a degoogled phone
So maybe it's not as bad, but still badAnd I'm not sure if people who are banned from having a Google account are also forbidden from using those other Google services (without an account)
(Of course you could still just use them, how will they know it's you? But we shouldn't expect people to break end user agreements) -
@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?

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
@pojntfx All data eventually ends up with the palantir stasi

@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@pojntfx Mitigation Measures in Germany and the EU 1/3
To prevent this technological “lock-in,” several measures are being implemented:
Alternatives Outside Official Stores: The EU is exerting pressure through the Digital Markets Act (DMA) to compel Apple and Google to allow the installation of apps from alternative sources (“sideloading”) and open access to their security chips without going through their accounts.

Interoperability between Member States: According to the regulation, if the German wallet fails due to a lockout, citizens should be able to legally use any other certified wallet from another EU country to identify themselves for German services.

Physical media as a backup: Germany maintains the physical ID card with a chip (nPA) as the primary “source of truth.” The wallet is only a digital representation; if the phone fails or is locked, the citizen can always use their physical card and a standard NFC reader to identify themselves. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_3433

@pojntfx I knew.

@pojntfx I knew.
Like when people argued that age verification is ok bc it can be implemented in a zero knowledge way, I knew that it would never be actually done like that.

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.

@pojntfx that Google dependency is unacceptable. That said, there is no reason (other than "they want to") to require a Google account to use the Play store (to download free apps). From a GDPR perspective, that is already a breach of the law, and already should have been fixed.

@hannorein @unnon89 @EloPup @pojntfx @tdelmas never attribute malice to that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

@pojntfx codifying the use of AmeriKKKan tech is a really stupid autonomy move... And that doesn't even scrape the surface of reasons this is going to be really, really bad for privacy. Dumb as hell.

@pojntfx I wonder, why isn't anybody writing about EU age attestation in the first place? https://leminal.space/post/31858818/21120139

It's broken, if it depends on Android (or iOS). It should run on other OSes, too, such as #Linux on PCs or on my #smartphone which runs #Mobian.
here... most of the bank apps on my phone stopped working after I removed the Google Play services.
