Plenty of EU countries have digital ID apps already and provide services like signing documents using that ID. Adding something like zero-knowledge proof with passkeys-like UI probably isn’t that much harder than putting people on the moon.

Good in theory, but in practice… how is this going to be enforced? The only ways I can think of involve excessive invasion of privacy, again, under the banner of “Save The Children”, again.

The only official ID apps I’ve ever seen only run exclusively on android and ios. Meaning you can’t partake in any digital governmental services without being a google or apple customer. Which seems at least flawed, if not down right illegal.

One has to weight what has a higher societal cost and if one has a choice at all if we want our societies to survive. Participation in big tech social media and watching porn is not a human right.

- I was commenting on the availability of ID apps, not on the participation in social media and other services
- Internet access and privacy are human rights. If those are taken from anyone, for example by mandating becoming a big tech customer to access ID apps, it becomes at least a social issue, if not a legal one.

I’m tentatively hopeful it will use the pre-existing government SSO, which would be the ideal solution, since no data would be transferred to the website or third parties.
