The new Ukrainian social network offers login through 'Dii': it is called a state messenger

The new YEDNÁ service, which is positioned as a social network with authentication through 'Dii', is actively being discussed online. At the same time, officially it is not a state product but a private initiative that raises questions about security. The application's founders report on this.

The YEDNÁ social network with login through 'Dii': what is known about the service

The developers describe YEDNÁ as a platform for communication among Ukrainians with geolocation links. Users see content only from their city and interact with people nearby.

Main capabilities of the service:

• feed of posts based on location

• discussion of local events

• dating and recommendations

• user verification.

At the same time, the application lacks private messaging, so it cannot be considered a classic messenger.

The new social network YEDNÁ: what risks and doubts have arisen

Concerns have already arisen among users regarding the project. Among the main reasons:

• launch only in the iOS version and through the website

• difficulties with links

• suspicions regarding the use of artificial content

• lack of open information about the team.

Particular attention has been drawn to the topic of authentication through state services, raising additional questions about personal data security.

Experts also remind about the previous experience of Ukrainian social networks. In particular, the Nimses platform quickly gained popularity but later diminished in activity due to financial difficulties and conflicts with investors.

Currently, YEDNÁ appears to be a test or experimental launch. There are no confirmations from state authorities regarding the creation of such a service.

In light of this, Ukrainians are advised to be cautious towards new digital products, especially if they involve authentication through state tools.

According to recent data, over 77% of Ukrainians receive news from social networks, which increases the influence of such platforms on the information space.

Recall that the social network of billionaire Elon Musk changes rules for accounts that impersonate other users.
