⚡️🇪🇺 NEW - The European Union is reportedly preparing to launch “W,” a new social media platform positioned as a direct rival to X, with mandatory human verification for every account in an effort to eliminate bots and coordinated manipulation.
W, which will require photo verification of users, was publicly announced at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
I should warn you right now that you won't find nostr:nprofile1qqsy67zzq5tc9cxnl6crf52s4hptdwhyaca5j7r8jwll535tdadedvcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejs5dgnx4 there…
I've only really used nostr. I've used nitter in the past for viewing things. I don't care about being on the same centralized system that has network effect.

More like L, amirite?
I did tell you that 2026 started out on a wild note. First a head of state was arrested by a foreign government, then Bayer sued Pfizer and Moderna for patent infringement of the mRNA tech and now this?! It’s only January guys 😂🤣🤡🌍

My favourite is the photo verification part 🤣👏
So they made an alternative to twitter that is just as evil as twitter but in a slightly different way...
Hopefully both wTwitter and xTwitter both fail.
another waste of taxpayer money
The funniest part is anyone who actually uses that app is an NPC 😆
Sounds terrible 🤣 I´ll have to pass, sorry tyrants...
Mais mdr
Nah thank you 💜🫂
People don't understand why is that a bad thing. Yet.
why would anyone yse that
🤣
more like L 😄
Wankers
Just a matter of time and incentive before the hUmAn vErIfiCaTioN gets bypassed by bots.
On top of that you can't have privacy and that verification bullshit at the same time.
This is so ripe for data breaches, imagine what so-called russian hackers could do with a data brrach fill of biometric data of EU politicians.
Censorship and 'blocking misinformation' are literally the same thing. Any interesting conversation will get auto-modded, deleted, erased. And the participants will get penalized. Very free speech, much freedoms
This is just gonna be the next Threads, an empty dead void full of bots and NPCs.
Epic fail
⚡👀 WATCH - This is how the social media platform called “W” was presented in Davos at the World Economic Forum. It aims to compete with X and requires mandatory human verification for posts, which will require photo verification of users.
“A social media where free speech and privacy are real”

Hahaha…good luck
To me this smells like desperation.
EU has no more than 3 years left. Let's start a centralised fuck social media platform. LMAO
It's the very opposite of centralised TBH https://w-social.eu
Sounds like bullshit, https://w-social.eu does exist already and it's just a portal page for Fediverse/Mastodon
lol
Let me guess: they say first it will not be mandatory to use for EU citizens, but then you can't work if you don't have an account there
Ops! and then European countries will create memes against x on "W" 🤭
LOL! That's delusional..
Governments launching consumer facing products...
Lol
The social media for boomers
lol mandatory human
They are even worse at IDV than the US
Will be hilarious
Naaaàh, man, I'm good with #nostr. I have my web of trust here, no ID required. Keep your EU surveilance away from me. I value my privacy too much for this ... STUFF.
Who will use this stuff even? I don't see this ever making any financial sense.
