    @_elena I read your article, pretty nice investigation are you in ! - in fact I keeping reading your posts also the info and adventures from Gina too.

    As always politician and big guys trying to use the miss information to achieve their stupid stuffs - It's funny and curious what EU commission statement publishes vs reality !

    They think they can hide it by adding # "commented" character or as we noted here by deletion or setting as private an entire project - no cool no good no sovereignty

      #WSocial will open up their beta program today… and I have a SCOOP for you: it appears that they have quietly gone closed-source!

      This is ironic, considering that the @EUCommission just unveiled their Tech Sovereignty Package, emphasizing the importance of #OpenSource. And yet they have migrated their main ATproto accounts to W Social - whose code can no longer be inspected!

        @_elena

        Once upon a time, JAVA™ was open source.

        The only source whose you could be sure to have an eternal access to is the one you manage yourself, open or closed.

        Opening source is mean of extending collaboration, not a guarantee of sovereignity.

        An example is the French Tresor. As far as i know, it owns its computer infrastructure and has an internal computer science team. But the software is closed source.

        @EUCommission @aral

                  @_elena @EUCommission @aral This is worrisome. Just like OOXML is not really a good format for the European open office initiative. The lobbyists are probably moving in the background.

                    This was definitely NOT on my bingo card for this year:

                    European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen taking a moment between G7 meetings to promote the launch of the closed-source, for-profit network #WSocial.

                    I fear this may be a harbinger of things to come: MANDATORY AGE VERIFICATION for social media across Europe. I hope I'm wrong on this.

                                Of course, because the EU has never had a problem with what the US does domestically in terms of things like surveillance, information control, censorship etc, they just want to be able to do it for themselves.

                                  Of course, because the EU has never had a problem with what the US does domestically in terms of things like surveillance, information control, censorship etc, they just want to be able to do it for themselves.

                                    @sanzky @_elena Definitely seems like it.

                                    @Razemix @sanzky Likely not a direct cut, but a sense of opportunity. As @_elena said: mandatory ID checks.

                                    Helps quell dissent against authoritarianism.

                                      This was definitely NOT on my bingo card for this year:

                                      European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen taking a moment between G7 meetings to promote the launch of the closed-source, for-profit network #WSocial.

                                      🔗 : https://web.archive.org/web/20260617083436/https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rentzhog_kind-of-cool-to-see-ursula-von-der-leyen-ugcPost-7472769475885461504-hwct/

                                      I fear this may be a harbinger of things to come: MANDATORY AGE VERIFICATION for social media across Europe. I hope I'm wrong on this.

                                      Latest SCOOP on #WSocial:

                                      The European Commission Spokesperson for tech sovereignty Thomas Reigner just migrated his ATproto account from Bluesky (open source) to W Social (closed-source). How ironic!

                                      🔗 : https://clearsky.app/thomasregnier.ec.europa.eu/profile

                                      And now excuse me as I go pick up my child from daycare. I'll be intermittently online for the rest of the day. Thank you for all your boosts and comments!

                                        #WSocial will open up their beta program today… and I have a SCOOP for you: it appears that they have quietly gone closed-source!

                                        This is ironic, considering that the @EUCommission just unveiled their Tech Sovereignty Package, emphasizing the importance of #OpenSource. And yet they have migrated their main ATproto accounts to W Social - whose code can no longer be inspected!
