I know Europe might seem like a country of you’re illiterate, but um it isn’t. W is a Swedish company with a dumb idea at the core of its app
Uh, Mastodon exists?
will require identification and photo validation
Straight from the book “How to kill your app before launch”, page 1.
data privacy at its core
Looks like they haven’t seen the obvious conflict with requiring id + photo, unless they plan on manually review every application.
After reading the article, it sounds like they’re just making yet another xitter clone with the hopes that govt figures will use it. Govts could just spin their own mastodon or similars for a similar effect.
Yup. Nothing and I say nothing makes a service less secure for privacy than requiring your ID and photo. That data will get leaked. It always does.
Considering the amount of bots and trolls everywhere I can see a certain appeal on an app that requires an id verification to be honest.
will require identification and photo validation
With all the privacy issues in the past few years, it’s “dead on arrival” as they say.
W formerly known as useless garbage nobody asked for.
Yup. It will fail spectacularly.
Too bad cuz it could have legit beaten Xitter.
If distributing child pornography can’t get people off Xitter, nothing will.
Any for-profit company will have to comply with this, unfortunately.
But none of them ever asked me for a photo or ID.
Are you in the EU?
Spyware disguised as a “social media platform”, hard pass.
cough cough Mastodon.

It has over 3k posts and 145k followers. Mastodon posts don’t federate to lemmy unless they tag a lemmy community
I stand corrected. Thank you.
only Ws in the chat, guys 😎
Checkmate, Elon Musk.
I genuinely thought this was an Onion post.
Anna Zeiter, CEO of W, has told Bilanz.ch that W stands for “We.” Meanwhile, the first of the Vs that make up W stands for “Values,” and the second for “Verified.”
“The fact that W comes before X in the alphabet is certainly also a welcome coincidence,” Zeiter said.
Was curious if the”W” had a deeper meaning to it. Turns out it’s actually two V’s that form a “W”
you mean it doesn’t stand for Wumbo?
Stupid name, vv, or vave would’ve been better. Besides, it’s not like they’ll register v.v as a domain, or even www.w.vv
Should’ve called it Z. Is just as good as X. In fact, is two better.
*Comrade has entered the chat*
Should just have said it stands for Wordfeud, which would be commical.
I am staying on mastodon for the micro blogging, not interested in centralized shit. Also, recommander systems are a plague.
We are?
Hold my hand and let’s say yes together.
