W, which will require photo verification of users, was publicly announced at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Just a matter of time and incentive before the hUmAn vErIfiCaTioN gets bypassed by bots. On top of that you can't have privacy and that verification bullshit at the same time.
