Launching their new social network, W, a group in the EU posted a map of where other social networks are hosted. It showed nothing in Europe.
But their map is wrong.

Maybe only tech bro corporate social media sites count.

@ricci I bet it’s owned by another bunch of techbros. Just techbros not from USA.
