'Sez Us' launches in India: How it differs from others
Sez Us, a new social media app used by Hillary Clinton and Gavin Newsom, just launched in India.
The platform wants to keep things "anti-toxic," focusing on real conversations instead of algorithm-driven feeds.
Akshay Gupta, Sez Us's COO, says the goal is to make online spaces more civil and welcoming.
Mobile verification, blockchain-powered sign-on
To fight bots and fake news—still a big issue in India—Sez Us now requires mobile verification for all users.
There's also a blockchain-powered sign-on so you control your digital identity, thanks to partnerships with Project Liberty and Frequency Network Foundation.
Sez Us is reaching out to creators from sports, entertainment, and politics, plus offering internships at Thiagarajar College of Engineering to help build a healthier space for India's creative community.
