To whom it may concern.
Let’s at least block the government agencies from using it in favor of open platforms and protocols to communicate with its citizens.
At least give me some good ole RSS in the backend, and they could host their own Mastodon instances that people can subscribe to from other public instances.
Here quite a few of the popular social media are banned. They’re still popular but now every schoolkid, housewife and grandpa knows what a VPN is. Every time I hear such news, I am afraid of crackdowns on censorship evasion in those places too…
Everyone who signed the petition should close their Twitter accounts. And write their newspapers that they would cancel their subscriptions if the articles quoted or embedded tweets. I didn’t sign any petition, and I’m already doing it. Well, sort of. I didn’t have any Twitter account ro close.
Closed it. Viva la France!
Maybe not quote, but embed. They should still quote noteworthy things on there, but don’t force us to interact with the site
write their newspapers that they would cancel their subscriptions if the articles quoted … tweets.
Given the former and future president of the USA’s habit of announcing policies there, that seems unworkable.
You can describe something without quoting it
And you can quote something without embedding it.
As much as I dislike Musk, expansion of the great firewall of Europe seems like a bad idea.
+1
They should discourage institutions from using it (and use government Mastadon instances of course). This is honestly long overdue.
They only need to expand it a little bit. Add a rule against Nazi websites, and enforce it. That’s not restrictive very much at all. Drag has gone drag’s entire life without relying on Nazi sites
Block? No.
Ask public law institutions to not use it. Maybe.
I’m glad they at least name mastodon and not bluesky as an alternative.

In few years we have moved from nonsensical Musk worshipping to nonsensical Musk hating.
I never liked Musk, even when he was “In.” Even the Mars colonization meme rubbed me the wrong way, as the science does not line up with that.
It felt like a cult of personality to me. He was always a fickle jerk, a mixed bag.
You have a point though, people’s opinions were largely political, I think. Or just based on pure hope/cultism
Correction, we went from fanatical Elon worship to a sudden realization, that he’s the greatest scam artist of all time (quite literally, nobody EVER burned more tax payer and inverter money) and went into sudden shock and disbelief.
we have moved to musk hating but i fail to see how all of it could be characterised as nonsensical; there are elements for sure
There is a certain, disturbingly large, segment of the population which doesn’t even appear to attempt to think for themselves.
It’s like JK Rowling all over again.
