en.Wedoany.com Reported - The European social network W social recently launched its first public platform, developed in Sweden, designed as an alternative to X.com. The project was announced at the Davos Forum in January last year and has received support from European Council President Antonio Costa. The name W, taken from the letter preceding X in the alphabet, reflects its market positioning.

The core competitiveness of this social network lies in the concept of "trust." Users must scan their ID card or passport to complete identity verification before registering an account, after which they can still use a pseudonym. This measure aims to ensure that speakers are not bots or fake accounts, issues that are common on other platforms. Antonio Costa called it "a platform where data is fully hosted in Europe, combating disinformation is a priority, and all users are verified real humans." Whether this model, which directly links each account to an ID card, will gain recognition from netizens remains to be tested by user feedback during the early operation of W social.
