Unfortunately, like good and honest liberals, they don’t promote an application, they let corporations find solutions that meet their new legal standards. And those legal standards happen to allow corporations to demand ID, which they will happily do because they can sell that information or use it to psychologically manipulate you as a service.
Being able to track people is a desired feature, not a happy coincidence of leaving it to the private sector.
Go see who voted for Chat Control in the EU Parliament and who you see voting for it is the mainstream parties which have been well entreched in power as a power duopoly and which have been Neoliberal for decades.
They want the mechanics of Autocracy in place because it makes it easier to spot dissent and interfere in attempts to change the system that keeps them in power and makes them personally very wealthy from doing favors with the power they hold to very rich, very thankful, friends.
This sort of magic is quite doable.
