Government must move away from toxic social media platforms https://peertube.openrightsgroup.org/videos/watch/adfdf045-614b-489d-b0ad-b2e8b1645c3f We shouldn't be forced to use toxic platforms that track and profile us in order to get public information. Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube track and profile their users so that they can target advertising towards them. Their business models fuel online harms by pushing more and more extreme content to users. Despite this, these platforms are one of the primary ways that government departments share public information. Tell your MP to support the EDM calling on the UK Government to ensure that all public sector social media content is published on open, decentralised and federated platforms!

That's the lowest bar that is reasonable. It might be easy to argue for a higher bar, but holy cow, the lowest bar is so obvious.

IMHO that's unlikely to make it past the very volatile short-term working memory of anyone with any influence over anything before hitting our neurological spam filters. /I've/ noticed it,.. which rather proves my point. A campaigning message that lands with me (as this did) is unlikely to cut through with anyone who matters :>
