    By that, I know it’s not behind closed doors or undisclosed, nor requiring compromised certificates.

    I don’t know how you reached that second conclusion from the fact that there’s a government website, but as https://last-chance-for-eidas.org/ mentions, it was hidden in plain sight, in that eIDAS wasn’t hidden, but the specific consequences were:

    Although the deal itself was publicly announced in late June, the announcement doesn’t even mention website certificates, let alone these new provisions. This has made it extremely difficult for civil society, academics and the general public to scrutinize or even be aware of the laws their representatives have signed off on in private meetings.

      Did you even bother to google? there’s announcement pages explaining what eidas will be, and the proposal is easy to understand. I have a hunch this is going the same as the “meme ban” did a couple years back

        You said you knew there weren’t going to be compromised certificates because there was a government website. But also notice that the kerfuffle is about

        New legislative articles, introduced in recent closed-door meetings and not yet public

        In other words, these are new additions that are not yet reflected in public documents. This article is also a good explainer.
