European organizations are about to launch their own social media platform, W, amid rising tensions with the United States.
The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans and who they claim to be, Danish news media outlet Politiken.dk reports.
There are a bunch of governmental servers for the countries as well - both France, Germany and the Netherlands have one afaik. But they’re in a similar situation - leaders and politicians prefer their accounts hosted on something else.
Ah, thanks I wasn’t aware of those instances. I guess it’s the same old, same old story as always - politicians (in general), even in EU are not really looking to do the “right thing”. They’re looking to do the most populistic thing.
