European digital ID wallets to be used to access services does the exact opposite of breaking the big tech monopoly and advancing European sovereignty. "Users who want the autonomy to use operating systems without pre-installed Google software ... are forced to use Google software, if they want to use the wallet," says Danny Lämmerhirt, Senior researcher at Waag Futurelab. If this isn't monopolisation, then what is? Read more and learn what you can do: https://waag.org/en/article/european-digital-id-wallets-are-gift-google-and-apple/

@waag@waag.social To the European Commission, THIS is why we are opposed to some of the announcements you have been making here on Fedi. @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu

@waag@waag.social the one on the right looks exactly like my Fairphone 6 with e/OS! 😀👍 Initially I ran Android 15 & 16 on it and had enough of Android violating my privacy, bossing me around and in September '26 blocking all uncertified 3rd party Apps (think F-Droid Apps). You don't have to put up with it but YOU need to take action and kick the guest out of your house as it's not going by it self 😎 And never buy a phone with a bootloader lock as most are! So happy with my Fairphone 6 ❤️

@waag@waag.social That's just a scandal. Especially the EU has to take care that exactly this does not happen. I mean, come on, iodéOS and murena are European projects! This has to work
