EU's Digital ID is Killing the Open Phone Market

So, the EU Digital ID is threatening to kill alt Android and Linux phones, but this is also probably gonna screw over desktops too, because going by how it’s laid out by Mental Outlaw here, desktops could start being required to run Win11 with Pluton enforcement to comply with this, which would not only lock out Linux and BSD desktops, but also older desktops in general which can’t run Win11, and even older desktops which can run Win11 but are too old to support Pluton, meaning just like you have to buy a new Google or Apple phone to comply with this, you’d also have to buy a new Win11 desktop or laptop as well.

It 100% is, it always has been. We’ve had decades of overreaching legislation towards tech based on the false premise of protecting children.
