I downloaded the latest dataset of #WSocial 's verified records. I found:
- records showing the legal name, nationality and approx. date of birth of 2457 users
- 8 birthdays in the name field (their real birthdays, probably)
- the two minors are still there
But it's all public by design, remember?
My blog post that explains the latest #WSocial controversy is up:

🇷🇸 Serbia's election-winning Student List vows to halt arms exports reaching Ukraine via Western intermediaries, Reuters reports. It also rejects EU sanctions on Russia. Jovo Bakić calls Moscow a "historic partner and protector."
🇷🇸 Serbian students ousted Vučić – a real achievement. But alongside their trips to Brussels, their May 17 Kosovo Memorandum calls Kosovo an inseparable part of Serbia and its defense a duty to ancestors. This will slow Serbia’s EU accession, while Russia keeps exploiting Kosovo to sow division.

"Meta stock sinks nearly 7% as AI spend pushes free cash flow negative" - CNBC
In addition, they are also printing another $95B in fresh shares to fund even more AI.
Meta will legitimately be the first Big Tech corp to go bankrupt from this shit.
🇪🇺 The Union of European Federalists (UEF) sets out its position on the 2028–2034 Multiannual Financial Framework, own resources and a European fiscal capacity in view of the EUCO of 15-16 October 2026. #eurofed
The argument of a 10 year old.
Imagine how many lives would have been saved had the west shown guts and stood up to Putin when it invaded Georgia, or Crimea.
Ergo, imagine how many more lives may be lost by continued inaction and pandering to Putin as Musk advocates.
Following the September 20 elections in Berlin, the social-liberal party Volt won seats on four district councils for the first time in history: Mitte, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Pankow, and Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf.
"On Wednesday, @consilium.europa.eu approved a change to GDPR that would put the interests of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX over Europeans' right to data protection. According to the approved text, processing personal data “in the context of AI” should automatically be lawful." - NOYB
"In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens “in the context” of AI. Schrems: “Under the agreed text, the profits of AI companies would typically trump European’s fundamental right to privacy."
Regular people are expected to work for a living while AI gets to take your job opportunities without even paying for the data that trains it?
Instead of this garbage, let's implement a data dividend, as proposed by Andrew Yang 6 years ago.

Ukrainian drones struck three Yandex data centres in Russia, shutting down two and crippling the third. The attacks disrupted more than 80 services, including banking, transport and cloud infrastructure, following Russian strikes on Ukrainian data centres.
🇨🇿 A strong first-round result for Volt Česko’s Michal Šmarda: 27.6% and 12,254 votes, finishing first in the Senate election in Žďár nad Sázavou. He advances to the runoff on 16–17 October.

"Big Tech companies are routinely fined for privacy breaches, but these fines are rarely put into context. See how privacy violations are punished, and how little it costs these companies to break the rules." - @proton.me
Wonder how lively activity is on #WSocial compared to #Eurosky?
Thanks to @pds.ls you can plug into the live firehose for the two networks.
After 32 minutes of observation this morning, @wsocial.eu had 330 events whereas @eurosky.social had 16 THOUSAND.
The beauty of open data 💫

No, we need universal basic income. AI is trained on our data. IT'S OUR CAPITAL. Treat us like shareholders. Give us our monthly dividends. Is it standard for stockholders to be paid in jobs? I want my cut for putting up the capital. We all deserve our cut.

Mass corporate layoffs are happening in America:
Amazon: 14,000
Microsoft: 9,000
UPS: 48,000
Target: 1,800
Nestle: 16,000
Intel: 20,000
I share why we need an AI New Deal jobs plan.
I concur. Yet another example of an outdated, ineffective Commission that is out of touch with both basic digital nativity and the industries affected.
It's desperately time to give @europarl.europa.eu the ability to initiate legislation and reform EU institutions according to federal principles.
Att försvåra för småpartier att vinna politisk representation leder inte alls till stabilitet eller enkla regeringsbildningar.
Det är snarare anledningen till vår totalt dysfunktionella politik. Läs min artikel nedan. #svpol

Another glimpse of life in Kyiv in the fifth year of war. Metro maintenance crews move quietly so they don’t wake people sheltering from Russian strikes and sleeping on the platforms.
🇫🇷 ✨ French AI startup Mistral on Tuesday announced its biggest open-weight model, dubbed "Chonk", claiming enhanced performance and security capabilities for clients seeking to keep their data private instead of relying on closed models from the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI ➡️ u.afp.com/S9yE
Paris-based 🇫🇷 #Mistral releases Le Chonk (Mistral Large 4:) 1.05T parameters, 49B active, MoE, and ~1M token context.
One of the world's most cutting-edge open-weight models, built in Europe.

AI-enabled drones operated by Ukraine’s 475th Code 9.2 Regiment are striking Russian armored vehicles before they can reach the border with the Kharkiv region. The unit says its drones are destroying Russian armored vehicles on a near-industrial scale. #Ukraine
Crucial fun fact for all @mu.social users: you can get rid of those ugly pink buttons and make it look much more like Bluesky or X.
Just go to Settings → Appearance → Colors and customize them to your liking. 🎨
Trump: "We're gonna be signing a document today renaming artificial intelligence, because it's not artificial. We're gonna be naming it Super Intelligence. Officially renaming it."
Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff

Enligt foto verkar säkerhetskritiska riksdagsdokument ligga på OneDrive.
OneDrive saknar E2EE och alla dessa filer kan begäras ut av amerikanska myndigheter via CLOUD Act.
Kräv att riksdagsförvaltningen skaffar någon form av koll på läget och går över till suverän europeisk lagring.

"Endast en europeisk klimatsupermakt kan lösa klimatkrisen, menar Victor Bohman Lind från partiet Volt Sverige. Han anser också att ministerrådets vetorätt bör avskaffas och att det införs tvingande lagar mot medlemsstater som vägrar göra sin del." #svpol#EUtidningensyre.se/2026/10-sept...
