As for Encrypted Client Hello (ECH), the next step in privacy, I think the issue has been with the web servers. NGINX began supporting it a few days ago? Chromium and even Cloudflare supported it since 2023.
Too bad they don't support LC-3 or DLX. More my level lol. So begins another deep dive side quest with the chatbot into a tool I didn't even know existed.
> either the government makes such services, and makes them well enough to seriously compete
Europeans have already made open source versions of quite a few things as side projects without any funding. The issue is a lack of transparency (by American standards) that hides just how hideously incompetent and outrageous (even by American standards) member state governments are. (PACER is a big reason how Americans know what Europeans are ignorant about.) I do believe an EU member state could otherwise create any service that American companies already proved are desirable, make it free for nationals and residents and require payment for others, and use EUDI as the login and verification, probably for quite cheap.

Assuming the USA doesn't send their ambassadors (yes the government is concerned if you want to replace microsoft and similar) to show them the carrot and the stick for not buying software from the USA. It's a thing they have done already.
Just like with mental health care (a noted contributing cause), the undeniable truth is that state and local governments are to blame for deteriorating quality of life, not the federal government. The states are piggybacking off Medicaid and SSI to house the insane in the community (pseudo-institutions pretending not to be) as a fraudulent and deadly workaround to the IMD exclusion, often backed by the imperial judiciary. SSI pays the rent, Medicaid pays the "community services", and Olmstead gives political cover. Everyone loses, not just those with SMI, but the addicted, the non-addicted poor, and everyone else using or depending on community and shared services.
Government-funded propaganda like NPR and PBS and their local affiliates have been instrumental in the obfuscation and half truths, so good riddance to them. Replacing them with blogs like this will be slow but ultimately better for everyone.
As mentioned by others, this apparently uses Wi-Fi Aware (aka Neighbor Awareness Networking or NAN). I'd be interested to know if the wpa_supplicant NAN interfaces can be used.[1]
It does not. AirDrop, and to my knowledge all other Apple functionality, still uses AWDL. For backwards compatibility reasons, the EU did not require Apple remove AWDL, just that any improvements benefiting AWDL also affect Wi-Fi Aware. The EU also did not require Apple make AirDrop interoperable, only that they stop disadvantaging third-party competitors in certain ways (and those changes aren't implemented in iOS 26, the deadline for it is next year). Google's implementation was purely done via reverse-engineering, similarly to the existing OpenDrop project.
The judge says the expert assessment was inadequate (« caractère insuffisant de l'expertise réalisée »).[1][2] The statute that the judge found was not followed says the examination of each application for a certificate is entrusted by the Minister of Culture to one or more individuals who assess the historical, artistic, or archaeological significance of the property.[3] The judge provides no further information about why they think that law was not followed.
France does have Télérecours for attorneys like the US CM/ECF, but they do not provide public access to the case docket like the US PACER system or the US Supreme Court. (To be fair, no other country has such a basic commitment to transparency for judicial dockets and filings.)
