W aims to become Europe’s alternative to X

Anna Zeiter, a former Ebay executive, is launching W Social, a new social network aiming to make Europe more independent technologically. Positioned as a 'better version of Twitter,' W Social emphasizes positive, respectful communication and aims to prevent fake accounts and bots. The network will host data in Europe and comply with EU data protection laws. Scheduled to launch its beta version in February, W Social has already garnered support from prominent figures and investors.
