       [1] DigiD used to work for users that want to evade invasive Internet oligopolies by using privacy-focused alternatives like /e/OS or LineageOS-MicroG. However, as of January this year, DigiD has taken a concerning turn. An update has introduced a hard-coded, unnecessary feature availability check for Google Mobile Services. An honest mistake at best, or masquerading as an anti-tampering measure at worst.#digid #opensource #openaccess #overheid

       [2] In reality, it does nothing more than create a vendor lock-in, directly contradicting the government's stated goal of reducing dependence on foreign tech giants and increasing the accessibility to digital government services. The DigiD team needs to acknowledge the problem lies with their app, not our devices.#digid #opensource #openaccess #overheid

       [3] This is a pivotal moment where the Dutch government must practice what it preaches. By enforcing this update, they are pushing users away from privacy-respecting solutions and further into the arms of invasive big tech companies. It's a step in the wrong direction.#digid #opensource #openaccess #overheid
