🇩🇪 Tag der Deutschen Einheit am 3. Oktober 2026. Heute, am Brandenburger Tor gab es eine Friedensdemonstration 🕊 Eine Frau erlebte den 1. Tag der deutschen Einheit 1990 und beschrieb den Tag des Mauerfalls am 9. November 1989 als eine große Freude und Feierlichkeit. Was bedeutet der Tag für euch?

With this disbursement, we are helping safeguard Ukraine’s financial stability today. We’re also building the foundations for its recovery tomorrow. Because Europe stands by Ukraine’s side. And will do so for as long as it takes. link.europa.eu/pdHPyb

🇩🇪 On German Unity Day, we remember a defining moment in Germany’s history: the end of decades of division and the reunification of the country. German reunification marked a milestone in Europe’s journey towards greater unity and integration. Einen schönen Tag der Deutschen Einheit!

Payment service providers give us valuable feedback on customer expectations and retailer needs for the digital euro. To see how it could work in practice, we're now also inviting online shops to join our pilot exercise in 2027. Applications are open until 27 October.

So much noise in the world. I come here. I can breathe again. I close my eyes. And dream that one day, our children can still come to places like this.

Just came back from The Odyssey... Got mixed feelings, it was okayish... As a fan of greek mythology, I knew the ending beforehand, so was quite glad Nolan didn't rewrite it 😁

Happy German National Day! 🇩🇪👋🏻 I miss living in Germany for many reasons. For the best bread in the world, my favorite football club and especially for Northern German „Schietwetter“. But sometimes I miss Germany also for the things below! 😃 🖤❤️💛

Great to see a massive crowd assembled today at the Garvaghy Road in opposition to sectarianism. The British state should read the writing on the wall. There's no way the Orange Order is getting through. People power has stopped them and will continue to.

Behind every loss is a family that deserves time to heal, time to grieve shouldn't depend on where you work. Our Government's changes - a new legal right to bereavement leave - will deliver security and breathing room for families, giving them the right to grieve loss in a way that works for them.

Oxford Street has long been the nation’s high street. On Monday 26 October, it’ll go permanently traffic-free and pave the way for a greener, more welcoming street with new opportunities for retail and leisure.

Good morning W! Exciting day ahead! We're going to an indoor amusement park to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, and it will also be my son’s very first amusement park experience at just 2,5 y old! I’m so curious to see his little face light up.

Last week I removed all the other social media apps from my phone. It felt liberating. This morning I am going to login to my accounts, using an old laptop, just to see if I have missed messages and posts from friends. I'm hoping they will ask me where I've been, a great way to introduce WSocial.

Chris Hedges spoke at an Oireachtas AV session this week. It was insightful and I was grateful to have had the opportunity to attend it. @chrishedges.skystack.xyz will be speaking on his new book Requiem for Gaza at different events over the next while. Check one of these out if you can.

Where is Europe talking?

We mapped the social media activity of over 10,000 public voices across Europe to see which platforms they use as their primary communication channels. The findings highlights our dependency on non-europeans companies.

Explore the data

Real people.

Privacy first.

We believe in the need for a global, trusted social media platform owned, run, and hosted in Europe. W is built on verified human users, transparency, privacy, and free speech.

W Identity

W verifies users through a separate app, W Identity. The decentralised W Identity app ensures full privacy. No personal identity data leaves your device unless you choose to share it

Your data is yours.

You can be verified as a human anonymously, or choose to share your real name. Your identity is yours. Always.

You identify yourself through W Identity, a separate app that scans your passport or national identity card and verifies you directly on your own device. You stay in control of what you share with other apps and services. Your ID data is stored only on your device unless you choose to share specific parts of it.

W gives you two options: appear with your full name or verified as a human anonymously. In both cases, you verify through W Identity, so W can confirm that you are a real, unique person. If you choose to stay anonymous, your full identity stays private, while verified attributes such as age verification and nationality help build trust and reduce fake accounts.

Access to your W Social account is controlled by a secure list of approved devices. If you lose one of these devices, it can be disconnected from your W Social account. Disconnecting a device will prevent it from accessing your account. You can then re-verify on a new device.

Part of something bigger.

W is built on the AT-Protocol, an open standard for global social networking.
