@jwildeboer I've been calling it what it is, government idenity monitoring. That seems to resonate with a few people who are otherwise calloused from privacy erosion.

@jwildeboer Facebook trying to shift the data risk and regulatory burden onto rivals.
Lawmakers need to ask the question: what would somebody like Trump do with this regulation?
Wherever you live in the world, there’s a wannabe Trump eager to place his boot on your neck.

@jwildeboer "The billionaire who runs Palantir wants to know which specific devices around the world are being used by our children"
"The billionaire who runs Palantir is in the Epstein files"Mayhaps there is a reason other than security that he wants to know where all our children are

@jwildeboer as far as I've seen so far, the only acceptible method for age verification is via an "older than X" attribute in the open source Yivi (previously IRMA) identity wallet, excluding additional identifying data.

@jwildeboer but they have your data already…
Of all the instances to use to have such a terrible take… @kayo77 @jwildeboer

@jwildeboer If you actually care about the children you should fight any such thing, because you replace one creep with another with a badge.

Exactly .. With those kind of identifiers it is very well possible to keep the real data secure in a few vaults.
In NL banks have iDin. In a way similar. There are more solutions possible to use. -

Long story short :
Implementation on libre system is not possible (100 workaround to bypass any implementation).
Such law are a quarter of century too late if you compare the uncensured/unsafe internet of early 2000.Real question is what does it hides ?
Certralised internet for alphabet and meta ?
Market share in favor of non-libre systems for apple and microsoft ? -

This is broadcasting standards complaint worthy. The reporter parroting a false equivalence between national technological competence and building an electricity sucking con job we'll never see any benefit from. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/business/589629/ai-illiterate-nz-at-risk-of-being-left-behind-as-data-centre-plans-move-forward
