Ah, nice that it's a web standard. Looks like Google is as well. https://developer.chrome.com/blog/digital-credentials-api-or...

Link to the related web standard https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model-2.0/

This is mDL (mobile driver's license) here in the US, but it's a new technology and not widely available or adopted yet. https://www.nccoe.nist.gov/projects/digital-identities-mdl

Interesting; thanks. That should connect to browsers' Digital Credentials API the other user mentioned.

Or we could deny providing "app" developers with any such information.

I am not going to show my ID to Google, especially given that it is a foreign company with dubious data collection history.

You are going to show your ID to at least one foreign company with dubious data collection history, because the government will eventually force it on you.
