    Tech oligarchs are bad, but have you give them our ID to access them (proof of age) doesn’t seem the answer.

    How would this impact Lemmy? Wouldn’t instances need to enable this or risk legal action/block? Honest question.

      ID verification is done by the government, using encrypted personal digital certificates or the physical id card chip issued by the government and its own online platform and app, open source and linux compatible, as with everything else in Spain.

      Did you think the plan was sending pictures of one’s id to Facebook? Lmao

      France and Spain are the only European countries where the intention to remove foreign platforms is not only real but existed before the current hype.

      However, countries traditionally worried about sovereignty and autonomy use to have worse economies because it has never been profitable in pure dollar terms and is less efficient. That’s why France has the great European strategic vision but not the money, and Germany, Denmark et al have the money but the shortsightedness of a merchant, proud of being vassals.
