Thu, Mar 26, 11:00 PM UTC Bots are swarming on most social media, and dominating in some. Social media has become asocial. How can we bring sanity and social exchange back again? W Social makes a strong bet on verified human users, meaning passport scanning in order to get a W Social account. But do we always want to know who is behind every account? We propose a model with a user information firewall. One side knows exactly who each user is, but not which social media account belongs to her. The other knows everything about the user's friends, likes and followers, but not her true identity.
