For once, we may be "saved" thanks to Trump. Because of the brutal change in geopolitics he triggered, the EU is now actively looking at all the hard dependencies on US controlled systems. Android and iOS are two of them.
I cannot tell if the alternative solution will be better, but I do think we will develop alternatives.
- trallnag 5mo agoAre they really tho? The EU is currently enforcing a digital ID that will depend on Android and iOS in most implementations
- reddalo 5mo agoNot only that, they're also enforcing age verification, i.e. mass surveillance.
- severino 5mo agoThe EU is only making these statements until the US has a new president (with the same ideas of Trump, as has always been the case, but saying nice things in public). Also, in the mean time, their announced "sovereign solutions for the European citizen" look ridiculous: now you'll be free from Visa and Mastercard for your payments but at the same time you'll need a phone approved by either Apple or Google.
