W Social: Short-message service for ID-verified users before launch
Summary
W Social is opening its public beta on Wednesday as a new social network built on the AT Protocol used by Bluesky. The service requires identity verification with an ID copy and a short video, and it targets users who have not joined Bluesky. The platform says it will store data in the EU and plans to monetize later through advertising and micro-payments for news articles. The article also notes that W Social is not open source and functions as a personal data server rather than a full independent network.
