This might be fine, especially if it was restricted to a specific subset of websites, but I presume that (especially in Germany !) the ID card is not mandatory, and neither are smartphones, and pushing both of them towards being nearly socially mandatory requirements is a very bad idea, especially in a context where iPhones / Androids are somehow still not only effectively legal in the EU, but even dominant.
- dvdkon 1y agoI agree about smartphones, but ID cards actually are effectively mandatory in Germany (per Wikipedia, you don't need one if your primary address on record is in another country, or if you have a passport). The situation in the neighbouring Czech Republic is the same, and I think many other European countries have similar laws.
- BlueTemplar 1y agoThat is surprising to me, since the reason why they aren't (legally, effectively would be another discussion) mandatory in France is because it was the Nazis that first introduced them...
