This seems even bigger:
> Recommends Commission to work on harmonising the national personal identification sign-ins with a view to creating a single Union sign-in system in order to ensure the protection of personal data and age verification, especially for children
While the intent is good there would be very perverse consequences to a mandatory EU-wide sign-in system. Hopefully this will be acknowledged in advance, and some form of distributed / anonymous system used for the purpose of protecting privacy, not just put the data in the hands of a central entity.
- hirundo 6y agoWith centralized sign-in you could greatly restrict someone's access to the internet by freezing just that one account. You could effectively disappear someone from public forums with a single order. It becomes less of a privacy service and more a cudgel to force compliance. Is that a bug or a feature to the Commission?
