Dear #WSocial verified users, who had your account verified after 16-09-2026: if you are not comfortable with your full name, nationality and approx. age being shared *outside* of W, on the open web, please DO NOT delete your account. You need to file a proper right of deletion request instead #GDPR

@wsocial.eu @anna.wsocial.eu I’m not happy that my approximate date of birth and nationality can be read by anyone in my W Social verification record. Please explain your legal basis for publishing it, and delete it. #WsocialFacts #GDPR

🤦♀️ #WSocial is posting legal names, nationalities and approx. birthdays of verified users as a public record on the Atmosphere. Confronted, they claim it's "by design" 🤯

This is not a leak. It is public information all our users have given consent when they verified

@wsocial.eu - I was one of the first to subscribe after Davos, but now I wonder what's the use of WSocial. We had to show our ID to get access, but now it seems there are many backdoors without the need for verification. Maybe I just go back to Mastodon. Nice try, but I feel a little betrayed.

Heads up if you have an account on W Social: your private data does not stay inside the W'alled garden.
#WSocial’s advice here is TERRIBLE - deleting your account won’t change a thing. Just now I found the record of a minor (15yo) who was verified by #WIdentity. His account status is now “taken down” but his full name, nationality and approx. date of birth are still visible on W's verification list!

Under the 1st option only the name is said to be public. You still publish nationality & birth-year date for those users. Nothing in your privacy notice, your TOS or this screen allows that. @ec.europa.eu & @ad4europe.eurosky.social is this the platform you want to endorse, or time for your own PDS?

Can someone help @xeronimo.wsocial.eu ? @pds.dad nobody knows more than you on this topic. @wsocial.eu don’t have a migration feature and their account deletion is broken.

Is it possible to move one's W account to eurosky?
