EU Age Verification Plan Forces Dependency on Google and Apple

European "age verification" "app" forcing everyone to use Android or iOS

I urge the abandonment of the EU's plan to integrate Google Play Integrity and Apple App Attestation for age verification. This approach dangerously deepens reliance on American tech giants, violating principles of digital sovereignty and user control. Existing open-source solutions like Yivi prove that proprietary dependencies are unnecessary, and forcing users onto specific operating systems creates a privacy nightmare that excludes many citizens.
