While I cannot agree on having to prove your identity online, this is ON PAPER better than what individual governments are doing right now (from what I know, I may be wrong though). I still don't like it and think it's a bad idea in general, but if EU countries are going to implement it in any case, at least it's better to have something that protects your anonymity both ways (the government cannot see and track what your are visiting, and the sites cannot see and track your identity).

BUT, this is in paper. We will have to see the actual implementation.

And I would much rather not have anything like this (but good luck with all the far right parties that are being pushed right now...).

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.

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?

Hold on, hold the fuck on, is this bitch so stupid or is her English so bad that she didn't understand what she said, i'll use my ID or passport to verify my age without sharing personal data??!!! BITCH THAT IS MY PERSONAL FUCKING DATA!!!!
