   Changing professional address in France requires
   - a smartphone (I don’t have one)
   - An app called France Identité, requiring iOS 16.6 or Android 11+, that will digitalize my face and link my devices to it.
   Or to pay at least 80€ to contact a lawyer so he does that for me.

   So the French government wants me to have a very recent smartphone, surfing on planned obsolescence without any web / paper alternative, to scan my face in 3D by installing its app on my device. All that to change a single address line. It makes me sick and, frankly scared.

     @raphael In the future there will just be two global governments: Apple's App Store and the Google Play Store.
