And apologies dear Fedi friends if I continue to write about #WSocial, but I have my reasons: 1) The platform is fully endorsed by the European Commission!!! With von der Leyen taking time away from G7 meetings to do a video ad for their launch (!!!) 2) The #openweb #privacy destroying #EUKidsAct has been discussed between W and the EC during a meeting in early September. If W Identity is the thing implementing it in Europe, we're all in trouble as they publish personal details to the open web

@_elena@mastodon.social "L Social" really would be more on-brand for the European Commission.

@_elena@mastodon.social I guess the MEGA fans and the leaders are the same people, just with von der Leyen added. Anyway, please don't stop! I really value your research and judging by the comments I am just one of many! 👍

@_elena@mastodon.social I've been in atproto circles a bit, and its not just that their publishing personal details. Because of the way atproto works, they're publishing these details and then broadcasting these details on to the firehouse. All it really needs is someone to listen to the firehouse for w socials broadcasts of this data and they can record these details as they're broadcasted.
