> The tldr is that they have a legal requirement to bind "verifiable credential shares" with the same human who got the e-ID

Glancing at the thread, I don't see that conclusion. User 'sideeffect42' cites some laws and says

>> As I read this it nowhere says that the e-ID has to be bound to a device. It only speaks about binding it to its owner which (IANAL) could be implemented by password protection (like KeePass) as well, since only the owner knows the password.

Nobody seems to have replied to that

Alternatively, the software could just scan your ID card's chip when you need it, or whatever it is that it does for first-time-use verification anyway. It needs not require your phone is locked down, locking you out of any control over tracking, installed apps, or reading the phone's storage and network traffic to merely see what it tracks about you. The phone can simply act as an NFC reader so that your ID can sign a challenge with an "over 18" flag included within the signed data

And that's if you want ubiquitous age verification in the first place. I find that u/raincole made a good point here that outlandish implementations have successfully shifted the discussion away from the aspect of whether ID-based checks must be widely performed: >>45361883

Is this post genuinely trying to add something to the thread, or a way to promote your agenda?

This post made you and a bunch of other people aware of where to go engage with the Swiss e-ID devs if you want, so hopefully you found that useful.
