Certainly a network. Ideally one that has no points of contact with any ad tech at all.

Lol, 1000 people in expensive clothing are sitting in there and listen to the rambling. The poor live interpreter...

Some people are so cloud-brained that they cannot imagine that a nation can build its own infrastructure for doing the basic things that nations typically do

Do they even have any tech expertise in their team?

I would classify Wero as US-dependent in multiple areas, since they incorporate US-based trackers. Also in a way that I believe is violating the GDPR. On top of that, the Wero app incorporates a US-based bug tracking system that the user cannot reject, other than maybe blocking it it with a firewall. I also have not seen them officially supporting any of the EU-made operating systems yet. Mandatory Notarization (by OS vendor) in iOS and Android is adding another US-dependent layer.

While there is more EU in Wero than in Paypal, it would be a false claim to call it "EU independent".

Olaf the Forgetful is excluded, I am afraid

Besides complying with the GDPR, to my knowledge, they also need to comply with the stricter German TDDDG, since I am a German user.

Incompentence, ignorance or malice. However, a complaint to the Belgian data protection office has been filed.

Unfortunately, you do need an account in order to watch content in daytime that is age-rated for above 16. And they ask for full-blown age verification with uploading an ID copy and performing a facescan with yoti.com, a company that on top of everything processes such data in the UK, not in the EU.
