I believe that EU will impose a mandatory on device AI compliance model. When all these online platforms conforms to their requirements for digital ID, we will witness a surge in private anonymous apps. Which EU can’t control.

They forced apple to open up their App Store model, and soon iPhone might come preinstalled with the EU AppStore where only EU compliant apps are allowed to be.

Digital ID apps won’t work without an official phone. So you can’t access your online bank or other critical services.

From where we stand today, this path is not unreal.
