> The legal foundation is already there, the new eIDAS Regulation is designed to _enforce_ login using the upcoming EU digital passport for all of Big Tech. So Open Source EU Metaverse, connecting all Big Tech protocols into a single repo and identity management solution with true privacy protection..

Legally mandating a single user-identity system seems like the worst possible scenario I ever could have imagined for cyberspace. Imagining trusting such a system is enormously difficult. But more so, to let the mold set on cyerspace, to create a single way the internet has to work, & deny new frontiers, new possibilities, new creativities... that seems monstrous. Beyond imagining.

I do like the idea of the possibility of interop.




apologies for the poor formulation. Another login system you are required to support. People can create personas and if you try to de-anonymize them across service you're in gross violation of EU law. So more like privacy friendly must-have, right?
