It's time for revenge ... Wikipedia launches its own social network without fake news and wanting to end Facebook

Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, is not happy with the current situation facing social networks, so he has decided to take action on the matter and developed his own social network: WT: Social. Its objective? Be the opposite of what we know today.

WT: Social is mainly a social news network where users have the power, among other things, to modify deceptive titles, as it seeks that the same community maintains truthfulness at all times. Without consumer algorithms (as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram do), WT: Social aims to build a chronological feed.

The care of personal information is another point where we try to differentiate: the website promises that it will never sell user information. WT: Social will remain only with the "generosity of individual donors", which would seek to follow the Wikipedia model.

WT: Social is a clear response to the constant "filtering" scandals or open sale of user data from the most popular networks. Meanwhile, the Wikipedia model only seeks to empower people than the company behind the platform.

Although you can already register with WT: Social, you have to keep in mind that there is a long line, since the site only supports a certain number of new users. To access directly, you can make your donation by purchasing any of the available subscriptions.

Are you going to join the social network of Wikipedia?
