@simon All fair comments. No disagreements here. I just don’t think the (limited and arms-length) EU funding of Taler has much to do with any potential for its enshittification. EU financial regulations, or decisions by banks, definitely could pressure them to enshittify though, as you say. But being a GNU Project, I’m guessing they would limit the package’s usefulness before they would compromise the privacy or other rights of the people using it.
