Google can open source some libraries here, but to what ends? Ultimately there is not zero knowledge here, there's one very concrete bit of information: Google says so.

Sure other people might be able to replicate the signing process. But who else is going to be able to get governments around the world to add those other would be zk proof providers?

This feels like such a vicious demented technological gordian knot being woven to trap humanity in.

This is all so hideously bad for humanity. The zero knowledge aspect is the absolute bare minimum to not make this pure scum and villainy, but it's still a sick awful thing to do to humanity, uses a lure of convenience to walk us into a place where the individuals of the world are powerless and where ever expanding digital dominion over us corals and steers us. Do not want, go back to hell & stop trying to drag hell to earth, monsters.
