Behind the government pitch of an “open source project, completely optional” hides big tech industry… Which will make it mandatory to access their services.

What are your thoughts on that ?

    If only age verification is needed, the request will only grant you birth date.

    I always wonder why they don’t minimize data further. “Age of Majority reached: Yes” seems like it should be good enough.

      Same for reductionis at the local swimming pool. They can only check if I’m a local but don’t get to see my adress.
