Free as in cost...
I am interested in this concept of currency, looking forward to see it more in practice after this comes out. (i'm based in the u.s not the e.u)
Challenging Big Tech’s grip on data
That section doesn't mention anything about distribution, only hosting. It's a good step, but are they going to force everybody to be surveilled by either Apple or Google and an additional group of third parties who implemented the wallet?
a core feature is support for selective data sharing
If the app requires Google Services or whatever the equivalent surveillance services are for Apple, then the "selective data sharing" is only smoke and mirrors.
I'll be damned, it'll be opensourced? Well, hopefully everything will be opensourced and not only the client. And even though it's on yet another surveillance architecture (github), at least it's opensource. Hopefully they'll decide to host it on their own infrastructure or something like codeberg (and provide funding).
