> it will not serve all citizens

This is an understatement. Better phrasing would be "when it allows two unaccountable foreign companies to lock citizens out of the digital market".

There are plenty of horror stories of tech giants frivolously banning people. We shouldn't be adding state support to that. I don't want to lose access to digital banking because of some deliberately vague "community guidelines" violation, or because I got mass-reported to some "e-safety" provider that both Apple and Google outsource to.

Sibling comments see this as a good solution, just not a perfect one. I see it as making a bad problem worse.
