European Social Network 'W' Introduces Verified Identity Feature for Enhanced User Control
The European social network 'W' has launched a new feature that allows users to verify their identity through a separate app called W Identity. This app scans a user's passport or national identity card directly on their device, ensuring that users maintain control over their personal data. The ID data is stored only on the user's device unless they choose to share specific parts of it with other apps and services. This development aims to enhance user privacy and security, addressing growing concerns about data protection in the digital age.
