German citizen here. I find this attitude horrible and threatening. You are working on sacrificing yet another part of our digital sovereignty to a US company. There are trillions of better things to do with your life.

European Citizen here, and indeed lots of people in IT turn a blind eye onto the collateral damage their work may create.

It's an EU thing, overcomplicated an not sovereign:

Verifiable credentials (VCs) are W3C standards and do not involve blockchains. Nor does Web 3.0.
