European organizations are about to launch their own social media platform, W, amid rising tensions with the United States.

The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans and who they claim to be, Danish news media outlet Politiken.dk reports.

This is what's frustrating me the most.

We have a working infrastructure. It's open source. Please adopt.

    I am somewhat-cynically wondering if the optimal political strategy is to sit on Twitter (which has more European voters to see one's actions) and loudly complain about a lack of Twitter alternatives (which probably scores points with European voters) than to actually use a Twitter alternative.
