| May I share a different perspective "EU Age Control" is not a Trojan Horse. The software (app) does what it purports to do. No one _wants_ to use it The "Trojan Horse" is the corporate mobile OS. It's a "free gift". People such as the author happily accept it. These people _want_ to use the corporate mobile OS for what they believe it is, which is something other than software to defeat privacy for the benefit of Google, Apple and their advertiser business partners and customers People don't think of the software as performing that function. Meanwhile it is the core "business model" of its distributor. The corporate mobile OS is a Trojan Horse This is why the "age verification" app only works when using the corporate mobile OS. The author states: "The apps will not work unless you have a Google or Apple approved device. Forget Linux, GrapheneOS, Huawei, after-market firmwares. It's part of the security model." The bogus justification for requesting ID is not "age verification" it is "security". That's the nonsense reason why the computer owner cannot use an OS he/she compiles himself/herself and why people happily accept the Trojan Horse. The corporate mobile OS is an instrument of data collection, surveillance and online advertising but that's not how the author sees it. He does not see what's inside, he sees a beautiful "free gift" |
