This means hundreds of users have their full legal names (inc middle names) and nationalities and emails and DOBs visible in their verification records and profile data. This includes many users without any display names (blank) or using pseudonyms.

There has been some confusion that we are happy to clarify. There is an 'ApproxBirthDate' field, and yes, this is obfuscated. And *also*, there are many real DOBs and emails also visible in the data. We can't say intentionally or accidentally.

We're currently getting paid €2.5m by the #bsky38 cartel, so that's €1.25m for us to keep this trap shut for 6m.

Following on the great work by people like @vicwalker.dev.br and @aiueo.ooo 💖 we made our Semble collections "collaborative". Get involved on @semble.so and @margin.at by adding annotations and links, and creating connections to make more sense of #WSocial stories. semble.so/profile/wdon...

We've been doing social media analytics for well over a decade, no other social media platform provided public age data per account like this Facebook has user_birthday but users must authorize the app to read their own data, not of any account! Have we not learned anything from Cambridge Analytica

We hold no personal vendetta against your team, and we will behave only with fairness, but we are here to report on events and verifiable public data to protect the #ATproto and wider #Atmosphere internet community from attempts to unfairly extract value from them.q

Could it be that W Social's own behaviour and messaging has created this adversarial situation? It's sad that you can't acknowledge that W Social hasn't been a great neighbour, hasn't truly tried to embrace this community that built everything you have, and continuously taking without giving back.

We ask you to consider for a moment why @wsocial.eu is uniquely disliked and distrusted to such a level within the #ATproto community. Is it everyone else the problem or just you? Is it a conspiracy? Perhaps. Or does that view keep you from addressing real concerns within this broad community?

People have been offering criticism and suggestions to you for months. Not all of that criticism has been kind, that's true. But @wsocial.eu chose to ignore or dismiss those valid concerns. @anna.wsocial.eu called them “haters”. diginomica.com/what-comes-x...

i guess when your entire goal is to push something (mandatory ID verification and de-anonymisation) with a hell of a lot of political power and money behind it, it's only natural to immediately point the finger that anyone who doesn't like what you're doing must also be playing your game

Why wait for your database to be hacked if you can just publish private passport data to a public PDS straight away?

I'm old enough to remember when the number one rule of using the internet was to not give out your real name, address, or other important information.

This is our contention. Real consent requires a clear understanding of the implications. The atmosphere concept is new to most, and for general audiences, relatively complicated compared to previous paradigms. It is irresponsible to publish full names, nationalities and birth dates.
060
W Don't Have Time @wdonthavetime.selfhosted.social · 10/10/2026
The real issue is people potentially having their full legal names, nationalities and actual birth dates listed publicly by W Social, creating genuine privacy and safety risks. Instead of concentrating on our identities, focus on the identities of those who may be harmed by unnecessary publication.

W Don't Have Time @wdonthavetime.selfhosted.social · 10/10/2026
We’re anonymous so that people can focus on the merits of our findings, not who we are. We, like W Social users, value our privacy and have every right to choose how much of our identity we make public.

It’s a strange position to be in, explaining that (gasp) sometimes people don’t do things just for the money. This is why the old models continue to fail us. The rich work only to seize more power and influence, and assume we all share this same view. Community matters. #ApesTogetherStrong

It's a privacy disaster if true, as malign actors will use this information. Verification is one thing, publication is another.

This is incredibly easy to answer. Unlike #WSocial, we have no financial motivation or incentive. We care about people's privacy and safety online. We want to help W users understand how their data is being disclosed, and show just how readily available W has made their personal data.

Hi Jan. Thanks for sharing. Do you believe that the average user will understand fully that their full legal name, nationality and in many cases *real* birth dates and email addresses (We can send you DIDs in private) will be published to the open web, where W cannot retain control?
