reloadtak··on European "age verification" "app" forcing everyone to use Android or iOS
The spec/design leaves a lot for the member states to decide on their own. You do understand how the EU and the member states roles work?

I would think the idea is to make services and ID documents more uniform across the union. I don’t see what the individual members state lose here? Apart from the cost of implementation. The individual EU citizen would seem to benefit from standardized documents accepted by all companies and governments, do you disagree?

Yeah it's used to list where your coworkers might be, it's a part of Microsoft Places, which is like a hotdesk thing. People have an insane response to this, and yet i assume they use their company provided laptop everyday.

reloadtak··on U.S. decision to impose travel restrictions on EU individuals
What would you like the response to be? Retaliatory? Barring some US citizens? What would be gained from that.
