Many politicians don't have a clue what the technical consequences will be. They just see that the law is meant to protect children and then they don't ask for clarification on the technical details.

But how do they achieve that? Do you use a lot of VPNs?

Yes. That's one of the primary use cases of a YubiKey (or other FIDO 2 hardware keys). Please note that there are 2 types of passkeys: - resident keys: Actually stored on the hardware key - non-resident keys: Keys that are recalculated

Privacy is a fundamental right. Politicians have passed all kinds of surveillance laws which then got declared illegal by the courts. The problem is that courts are not fast enough and the bad laws linger around for a while until they are r
