Dear #Mastodon this is the Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy of the European Commission.

@dalcacer @lexinova yes that's why its weird. I was too enthusiastic. and the time of account creation was consistent with ADP reporting.

But if it was official it would be on ec.social-network.europa.eu. And if she was just "having a look" she could have called herself anything. No need for the official imagery.

And heise reported that the exact same post was posted on X (sic) the previous day. So not one piece of original content and the wrong domain

@leanderlindahl @lexinova Just another funny issue: when following the link, you can press the symbol. Seems like the European Union webpage only supports all sorts of social media services. And yea. Mastodon is supported https://european-union.europa.eu/contact-eu/social-media-channels_en

@tsvenson @leanderlindahl @HennaVirkkunen @dgoldsmith i just hope it give idea for other politician, i will follow them even if i already have what they say with other source, but more people follow, more they will say, here there is pototial voter there.

@lexinova @leanderlindahl @HennaVirkkunen @dgoldsmith

Indeed. And an opportunity to show all social media isn't a race to toxicity leadership.

@tsvenson @leanderlindahl @HennaVirkkunen @dgoldsmith and she also must have seen many of us tried to prevent potential impersonator and disinfromation, witch is nearly never the case on other xD

@lexinova @leanderlindahl @HennaVirkkunen @dgoldsmith

You and Leander made me keep my boost alive during the verification process and post updates. Was a treat to follow the work and overall development in the thread.

Now when confirmed I re-boosted.

@tsvenson @leanderlindahl @HennaVirkkunen @dgoldsmith a feature @Mastodon need to steal from X is "community note, to allow those kind of verification here too.
