I'm a bit shocked the EU allowed them away with this.

How can this possibly be legal? If it truly is, the EU needs to get on it immediately.

Than you haven't been watching the EU enough. They are currently working on MULTIPLE different omnibus laws that will make owning an Google or Apple Approved Phone, running Google or Apple Approved Firmware and using the Google or Apple App store de-facto mandatory for living in the EU.

You vill download ze app and you vill accept the TOS.

It always begins that way to squash criticism.

Governments would mandate age requirements for many websites and these websites would be forced to check EU digital identity wallet.

I'm convinced they won't, they are just slow to react.

What about this do you think contradicts EU law?

The EU is remarkably laissez faire about a lot of things in the market.
