Geboren am 08.08.? Das traf 2024 auf 2 236 Babys zu – der zweithöchste Wert des Jahres.
Unser neuer interaktiver Geburtenkalender macht sichtbar, dass die meisten Kinder im Juli, August und September geboren werden. Und dass die Zahl der #Geburten an Feiertagen und Wochenenden relativ gering ist – eine Folge der hohen #Kaiserschnittrate.

The EU is making a very bad mistake here.

The EU is developing an app for age verification that can be used by many other applications as a legal way of ensuring that a user is at least 18 before accessing some protected content.

The problem is here:

The current release provides only basic functionality, with several key features to be introduced in future versions, including:

• App and device verification based on Google Play Integrity API and Apple App Attestation
• Additional issuance methods beyond the currently implemented eID based method.

What does it mean that it relies on the Google Play Integrity API?

Put simply, that:

• Any Android device not certified by Google will not be able to run the app. Do you use /e/OS (which is a European fork of Android btw), GrapheneOS, LineageOS or any other open-source fork of Android? Sorry, no age verification for you, which will mean that you’ll probably be locked out of many applications in the future. We often forget it, but, even though developed by Google, the core of Android (AOSP) is open-source and anyone can fork it. Google lately is already trying to attack that core hard enough to turn Android into a fully closed-source operating system exclusively controlled by them. The EU is just doing them a favour apparently.

• The Google Play Integrity API relies on keys and certificates exclusively owned by Google. Which means that if you use alternative privacy-aware frameworks to the Google Play Services (like microG) you won’t be able to do age verification. Google is already trying hard to force all vendors that install Android on their devices to get a certification from them only if they also pre-install Google apps and the Google Play Services (see the Android Certified program). The EU in the past opposed such plans because they clearly violate all the possible antitrust rules on the face of the earth. But, by piggybacking on mandatory Google Play Services for age verification, it seems that it’s just doing a U-turn and doing Google another favour.

In other words, EU representatives have (rightfully) talked a lot over the past years about digital sovereignty, technological independence from American tech giants and supporting open-source.

And then, when tasked to build an institutional app for age verification, what do they do?

Well, they entirely delegate the process to an American tech company that they pledged to decouple us from, and they play in their interests by putting another nail in the AOSP’s coffin.

Luckily the age verification app is still in alpha state and it’ll still take time to be deployed, and it’s also open-source.

So please, if you have a Github account, add a reaction or a comment to the issue opened by @SylvieLorxu on the project of the app to boost its visibility.

And if you have contacts with a EU representative don’t hesitate to write to them and express these implementation concerns.

Der Messenger der gesetzlichen Krankenkassen #TIMessenger geht jetzt an den Start. Bisher gibt es nur eine (große) Krankenkasse, die nicht auf dem größtenteils von mir entwickelten Open Source #Matrix SDK (Trixnity) aufbaut.
Da wird mir schon etwas mulmig bei potentiell zweistelligen Millionen Nutzern.

Und wie immer verdienen sich die meisten Hersteller eine goldene Nase ohne auch nur irgendwas an das Projekt oder die Entwicklerbude dahinter zurückzugeben. Ohne Trixnity hätten vermutlich die meisten Hersteller mehrere Millionen Strafzahlung aufgrund versäumter gesetzlicher Fristen zahlen müssen.

Steckt in eurer Krankenkasse auch #Trixnity drin? Schaut gerne mal in die Lizenzübersicht innerhalb der jeweiligen App nach!

Zwischenstand bei der #taxTheRich Petition: 22.274 von 30.000 benötigten Unterschriften haben wir. Fehlen also noch 7.726. Kriegen wir das hin?
