The European Commission announced Wednesday that it was joining a new, made-in-Europe alternative social media platform called “W.”
The platform, first announced at the World Economic Forum in January, is built on “verified human users, transparency, privacy and free speech.”
W, based in Sweden, was built by entrepreneurs in media, technology and artificial intelligence, according to the platform’s website. The platform’s beta version launched this week, with users required to apply for vetting by the “W” team before they can post.
