Sascha @pallenberg@mastodon.social just published a powerful exposé about the #WSocial "it's not a leak if we intentionally publish it" ID data controversy.
I highly recommend you read it. It's in German, but you could use your browser's translation tool:

Sascha did a PHENOMENAL job explaining the GDPR implications.
I wish the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu would reconsider their support of #WIdentity and W Social - people's private data is not safe with them.
@pallenberg@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @_elena@mastodon.social Thank you for all the research you guys are doing! I'm not against age verification and verified identities on social media per se, but it has to be done in a way that protects the privacy and the rights of its users. Clearly there's still a lot of work to be done here.
