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.

⚡👀 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” View quoted note →
