The Commission official said the bloc’s intention is that the EU app becomes a global standard, similar to the vaccination app used during the Covid crisis.
@CapitalB but of course. They have a plan, you see. This is one of the reasons why I'm not using European ISPs
@ThatCrazyDude yeah but this will go global.
Any sat based network is one rule away from being banned on a platform.
@CapitalB well, it might fly in Europe, both EU and non EU states, definitely in China and such, but something tells me they'll have a real hard time selling it to the US. The NSA is not about to give up its ultimate say on who can and who can't use the interwebz and spying possibilities, so there's that.
@ThatCrazyDude @CapitalB do you think musk will not switch off starlink if his money is threatened? i'd say he wants the x eu market more than he wants the handful of starlink people.

21@bonifartius @CapitalB everything's possible, obviously, but given that he still haven't blocked RT even for EU customers, I'm cautiously optimistic
What is all this?
What are they trying to do?
I thought they just wanted to count the rings on your asshole so Facebook knows you're a boomer - and now we're getting to internet connections and all that?
I mean, doesn't an internet connection kind of imply you're >18 because if not, how are you paying for it?

@cjd @bonifartius @CapitalB yeah, man, they do that just in case someone's still dumb enough to think they're not goddamn Bolshevik control freaks and needs to experience the permanent invigilation without any smoke screen to comprehend it.
@cjd @bonifartius @ThatCrazyDude
No,.bc parents can pay for a SIM, there are thousands of open wifi, there are shared connections etc.
You see. The fucking millenial normie parents refuse to police their breed their breed. Why? I dont know. They all fell into the trap of."this time it is different". While WE had unrestricted, uncensored and uncommercial www/Internet, THEY want to prohibit their offspring that.
Meanwhile the fedi, private AI, sneakernet, Bluetooth and stupid parents+teachers.

Okay, but wasn't this going to be able preventing you from getting internet unless you install their dumb app?
It kind of sounds like they've already lost.

@cjd @bonifartius @ThatCrazyDude
That is why there is a e-ID coming.
I dont know why you think they have lost.
Oh kay... but what if you don't install it?
How are they enforcing this?
If they're taking away the internet connection, I mean, the person who bought the internet connection is obviously >18 so that's just pointless and dumb. Where is the chokepoint that they're going to block off for people without their app?

1. Discord or cloudflare requires e-ID
2. ESIM has a cert for endpoint validation
3. DPI
I dont see what I should explain more.
The argument they give are poor children with stupid parents.
> Discord
Nobody should be allowed on Discord, ever.
> Cloudflare
If the CF "verifying your browser" splash page starts to require logging in, I'll view a whole lot less websites I guess...
This is kind of the same thing as when YT started to ban ad blockers. I went and touched grass, it was nice.

@cjd @bonifartius @CapitalB yeah, I mean, they can totally come up with oauth-like thing that will require you to provide your actual state issued ID in order to get an account - that's totally doable, but then they'd need to somehow force every single website to require this kind of authentication for access. I don't see how they can possibly enforce it
This is the part I'm getting at... Dumb European ID no one uses, now required in order to login to Dumb European Social Network no one uses...
@cjd @CapitalB @ThatCrazyDude they'll just a mandatory captive portal for internet access at the isp
The internet of shit is going to love that.
@cjd @CapitalB @ThatCrazyDude the internet of shit will get some forever valid certificates as alternative and the hack will be to extract those or something.
things could be so nice. they don't want us to have nice things, just out of spite.
Won't happen. It's gonna be like:
[THE SHITTIEST WEBSITE ON THE INTERNET]
> Age verification now required
[THE SHITTIEST WEBSITE ON THE INTERNET]
> Age verification now required
@cjd @CapitalB @ThatCrazyDude guess my real point is that there is a need for an alternative net infrastructure that can't be pressed into doing shit. no idea how to achieve this though. closest thing normal people might be able to pull off is something like loon.
Just don't use the dumb websites that demand it, problem solved. It's gonna be the top 10 websites that are all way way way too big anyway...
@cjd @CapitalB @ThatCrazyDude idk man. i'm bearish on the vague freedom left in europe, people here love to proactively lick the boots. just takes the big cheese at the huge ISPs, which are a hand full, to decide to implement this shit. the small providers will just follow because of social pressure.
@cjd @bonifartius @ThatCrazyDude
Office365, eHealth, parking tickets, gas station/manure/electricity rations, car mileage, border crossing (and dont you stupid Americans think they wont use state or outright despotic lines crisscrossing deliberately through integrated areas), subsidies, maybe even grocery store entry (muh knife violence), Autobahn toll, general media consumption (imagine ALL media tight to eID), CBDCs (obvious), fundrug and UBI.
You can invent more if you want.
In the "real world", everything is more or less tracked already: License plates, credit cards, etc...
It was my understanding we were talking about some kind of login-with-your-government-id thing for websites...

@cjd @CapitalB @ThatCrazyDude @bonifartius the only way to avoid being tracked is to steal a new car and swap license plates every day.
