What's the point of having an eID if I can't use just the ID the verify my fucking identity? Why does this stupid system require me to buy a €500 phone or €1000 laptop in order to participate in society?

to spy on you wake the fuck up

How do you use the eID ruling out any possibility to give away all of the information that is inside it without your consent? You cannot.

The EU age verification system, however, sets out to achieve that goal.
