#EuropeDay: from Coal & steel to Code & trust — Europe needs a new Schuman Plan. The first plan secured peace. Today, we need digital trust. Not just cloud or AI for business. We need Trusted European Platforms (TEPs) for citizens. For democracy. Let’s build and back #TEPs. Notably #Wsocial.

Reform UK have blocked Labour's proposals to get the Ipswich Northern Bypass moving. They've put jobs and investment at risk by trying to kill off this crucial project Local residents deserve better than policy being drawn up on the back of a fag packet.

In South Korea, robots are building solar panels. But the real story is what powers the robots. Hanwha Qcells’ smart factory in Jincheon uses rooftop solar to help power the production of more solar panels. Sunlight building machines that capture more sunlight. ⚡☀️ www.hanwha.com/newsroom/new...

Name a better engineer than a London beaver. We’ll wait. 🦫 These incredible creatures were reintroduced to the city and have already stepped up to stop flooding at a Tube station and restore local habitats. Nature is healing (and civil engineering).

As floods get worse, Britain tries a new solution: beavers

Earlier this week the Stanford Club hosted together with W @wsocial.eu an event in Zurich on the topic: „Is democracy ready for AI?“ I think the answer was: no! Thank you for speaking Yariv Adan @homersimpson.wsocial.eu and for moderating this very heated debate so brilliantly, Stefan Bürge!

Earlier this week, the Chancellor announced new support to help families with the cost of living. I regularly hear from residents who are worried about rising household bills, food prices and the general pressure on everyday finances.

In celebration of Europe Day May 9th

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.
