contents A variant of Gromov's notion of measure equivalence for groups has been introduced for II$_1$ factors under different names. We propose the terminology of W*-correlated II$_1$ factors. We prove rigidity results up to W*-correlations for tensor products and graph products of II$_1$ factors. As a consequence, we construct the first uncountable family of discrete groups $Γ$ that are not von Neumann equivalent, which means that their group von Neumann algebras $L(Γ)$ are not W*-correlated, and which implies that these groups are neither measure equivalent, nor have isomorphic or virtually isomorphic group von Neumann algebras.
