It says “your name will be public”. Not your Birthdate, nationality and so on.

Hi Matthew, Thanks for the heads up! I am indeed ok with sharing this information publicly -- it was my informed choice. To foster trust and safety online, I think it fair to know and share current nationality and rough age (+/- 18 months). Sharing legal name is only for those who wish to do so.

And it doesn't pop up a box every time asking you to use your real name. In fact, there's no way to set your name at all. You just have to keep reminding people who you are.

🤦♀️ #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" 🤯

Whats your motive in making data like nationality and approximate date of birth public? It seems like users have/had the option to not have their full name made public, do users have the option to hide their nationality or approximate date of birth as well? If not, then why?

Sadly, the most frequently seen/read popular histories of science are created by scientists, who with the utmost respect, often do not know the subject (exceptions exist, of course, but its almost a general rule ime). History is more complex, dark, and not as linear, either, than often presented.

atmo.rsvpUnder 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?

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