@LiberalArtist@mastodon.social @eloquence@social.coop W3C also made Decentralized Identifiers (self-sovereign identity blockchain bullshit) a "web standard" that the European Union will likely force upon us with the EUDI-Wallet.
In Germany, @Lilith@chaos.social and I caused the #IDWallet to fail after some basic IT security research.
This technology will discriminate minorities, enforce borders on the internet and be used for mining PII.
It is the opposite of an open web.

@LiberalArtist@mastodon.social @eloquence@social.coop I got really upset observing some blockchain startup hipsters with the necessary money hijack the W3C standardization procedure to give their terrible stupid ideas the legitimacy of a "web standard". And there is nothing you, as an individual, can do. As an individual you can neither read the WG's mailinglist nor can you participate in any discussions … or you pay the money and become a member^w lobbyist. That sucks and is undemocratic!

@fluepke@chaos.social @LiberalArtist@mastodon.social @eloquence@social.coop @Lilith@chaos.social I wish, Mastodon used DID instead of a location-based identity with vendor lock-in.
