Because nobody cares about offline children. Why don't they spend this money on them ? Because they support rich people.

just ban bigtech from EU, why touching the kids๐
You can launch an app all you want, but I don't use my phone... It's likely not compatible with whatever app they present anyway.. So now I have to buy a new phone every idk, 3 years or so to do a bit of ranting here and there?
But that's somehow a "me" problem. So let's mention another issue for "app-stuff:
For a European to be able to use Social media, I first have to agree with all kinds of American TOS's : (Apple, Google, or whatever semi-alternative that requires a Google app-store). Basically making our GDPR subordinate to the US.
GDPR is slowly growing more and more irrelevant as they amp up the "Legitimate Interest" loopholes on every website anyway.
They've already found entirely new ways to violate user consent and claim it as legal.
Im fairly certain this is true everywhere, but your local laws should supercede any TOS.

The tool could soon help users prove their age online without sharing personal data
Once released, users will be able to download the app from an app store and set it up using proof of identity, such as a passport or national ID card.
Officials say the app will be "completely anonymous" and built on open-source technology, meaning it could also be adopted outside the EU.
The fuck am I reading?
You can read how it works here https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet and a decent summary here https://feddit.org/post/28546687/12555790 There are already apks downloadable from their repos for testing purposes.
