sounds little bit totalitarian. that term "unique device indentifier" is vague, does it mean mac addresses in network , wifi cards and bluetooth chips, or imei codes in modem chips, or just serial numbers. my interpretation is, it is not mac addresses, those are changed quite often. but imei codes are in gray area and what about serial numbers in devices.

if it is mac address, even devices which can change mac address is illegal, ordinary computer! even giving capability is illegal. if i recall correctly, fedora has mac address randomization, therefore illegal. (although, are computers mobile devices).

my quick superficial search on finnish laws indicates that changing imei and serial codes are not illegal (sort of allowed).
